If the cylinder isn't firing...sure maybe. He said it quit leaking though...
If the injector leaks enough fuel into the cylinder and fouls the plug, then yeah, it won't fire and blow the fuel out of the exhaust valve, thus leaking out the manifold gasket. Then when the engine warms up it will evaporate or burn off and appear to have stopped leaking.If the cylinder isn't firing...sure maybe. He said it quit leaking though...
Wow I hope that isn't what it is. You guys do realize that if that's the problem every time he shuts it off he has a 1 in 6 chance of hydro-locking the engine.If the injector leaks enough fuel into the cylinder and fouls the plug, then yeah, it won't fire and blow the fuel out of the exhaust valve, thus leaking out the manifold gasket.

lol, yup. It's the best answer I can come up with. A leaking fuel line, pressure regulator, regulator vacuum line or various other things could cause it too though but those would be too obvious since they would drip or spray.
so what would you suggest, replace my injectors?
are you sure its not just water? get some on your fingers and smell it
i did it was definately fuel
