Just use dielectric grease or a sillicone based lubricant to lubricate the injector o-rings. From personal experience if you had a leaking bottom o-ring (where the injector goes into the intake) you more than likley have a vacuum leak. I would be more suspiciuos (however you spell that word) of the injector itself or the upper o-ring.

I avoid the use of petroleum based lubes because it causes the o-rings to swell.

when you replaced the o rings the first time, did you see the gas on the intake randomly? or did you do anything before that? like take off the intake or anything?

Gas was just laying on the intake right under one injector so i figured it was the o rings so i replaced them and cleaned off the engine. Now the same exact thing is happening again and it is not in the same spot. I did not put the injectors back in their same spots when i did the o rings. Thats how i know that it is not the rail. I am asking you guys because i dont want to buy a new injector if i dont have to and i dont want to keep having to remove the intake. Thanks for the help.

take the injector out and check it for any damage. thats all that it could be if you're putting your O Rings in right.
