Default Leaky Injectors! HELP!

Hey, how it going guys fist i want to thank you for responding and helping a brother out. Anyways heres the scoop, I have a 1988 5.0 GT hatchback with leaky injectors, the injectors have BLUE tops and a Silver bodies, I saw Bosch 24lb injectors that look identical to the ones in my car. The injectors leak a small amount of gas onto the upper intake manifold from the top of the injector, Can there be anything done to fix these injectors? I think not but let me Know. Also, i take it these injectors are not stock with the HO motor. The car has the following mods: KN INtake filter, dual Flowmasters, Blue ford racing plug wires, MSD blaster coil, and ENKI rims. Let me know what I can do about my problem and how dangerous it is to drive it. I am running regular and have been driving it this way for about a month. Thanks Blake

the injectors are sealed with o-rings on the top and bottom, take the fuel rail off and check the o-rings, two bolts on either side and a little tug should come right off.

i correct myself, the o-rings should be the answer if the injector is leaking from where it meets the fuel rail, i thought you meant there was a leak from the injector itself.(ex. small pinhole on the top of the injector casing)----This is reply after coffee----

fuel injection + fuel leak = i'd sell you a fire extinguisher, but i don't think it'd be big enough

The injectors are leaking out of the small hole on the side of the injector near the top, could this just be the seals?

And make sure your rails are pushed down tightly on that injector. They kinda snap on on the o-ring.
