Message	I've been reading up on leaking injectors, and I think my symptoms point to one, but I could use a second opinion. Quick back story: Bought Deatschwerks injectors back in 2008 (when they still had positive reviews). Ran decent for 2 years, but then I had to park the Z in 2010. I'd start it up now and then, but never drove it. No leaks when starting it... Fast forward to the past 3 months, and I've been getting her ready to drive. Finally started it up yesterday, and could smell gas. Glanced underneath the engine, and it was leaking pretty badly. Some of the fuel was dripping down by the AC pump, and some was dripping by the back of the engine near the transmission. I checked all the visible lines, but no leaks. Also checked the hose on the fuel rail, but it was dry. It only leaked when the car was actually running, and I could not see where it was coming from at all. Pulled the plenum today, and couldn't see much, although the fuel would have dried by now. One injector, #4, did look suspiciously damp, and I'm thinking it could be the culprit. With the plenum already pulled, is there anyway to confirm this? Any other ideas of where to check? If it's definitely the injectors, I'll be replacing with Nismos.
