Message fuel, then it's either a bad upper o-ring or the fuel rail isn't seated properly on the intake manifold, allowing fuel to leak. Your injectors may actually be fine.

Have you ohm tested the injectors (should be 11 to 17 ohms across the contacts)? I would pressure test the rail like treese88 said. You might just have an o-ring or fuel clamp that's loose, saving you from dropping big money on Nismo injectors. Although, I would recommend going to the Nismo 740'ss at some point because the stock ones are going to fail. I'm just saying your current problem may not actually be the injectors themselves.

I'm betting your problem is a loose clamp somewhere just based on the fact the car was sitting for a period of time. The fuel clamps don't expand and retract with the fuel hose, so clamps end up loosening over time. You may consider the spring clamps instead for this reason.
