Leak from the fuel rail?

[TRICKSIXPA]

So got done putting my engine back together on my WE4 hook up the battery today to set the TPS, so I turn the key to the accessory position. Smell fuel and the #2 injector is wet. Looks like it's leaking from atop it. I put 42lb injectors in cause the stock injectors were falling apart when I removed them. The 42 are used but the Orings looked pretty good. Used some vasoline to seat the injectors in the cup. Before I rip the rail off what should I be looking for so I can get this fixed. Thanks

Before we make a 10 page guessing game just pull out the injector and check the O ring. I would not install used injectors without a new O ring set on all..

Did you use any lube putting the rail on?

what happened to my post about o-rings

Would the Orings be the same size as the stock injectors? I know the OD would be what about ID.
Yes the O rings were hit with a little bit of Vasoline when I installed them. I'll let you guys know what I find this weekend when I pull them off.

Well I pulled my fuel rail today and saw a chunk missing from the O ring. Apparrently this happened while the O ring was in the cup. The piece of rubber that was shaved off fell out. I ordered a Oring kit from GM it was only $15.00 comes with all the Orings for the Injectors and the FP regulator.

The Ford dealers have them in stock and about 60 cents each iirc. If you have to wait long.
