Default leaking injectors

Hi guys. I'm not sure if you guys remember or not but I had some question about how much better my car ran after I changed my fuel filter. It seemed to have more power probably because it was restricting some of the pressure. But now some of my injectors are leaking. Is this normal? My car is running very good even with the injectors leaking so am I correct in assuming that my injectors are fine and I just need to replace the o-rings? How hard of a job is it? Any help you can give or suggest to me would greatly be appreciated.

V-fast where can I find a set of low mileage ones--I didn't even know you could buy used ones and is that a good idea to put used ones on a mustang?!?

V-fast I just thought you'd like to know that I just bought a set of 8-19# injectors for $51.00 slightly used on E-bay like you said!! Thanks alot for your help but I still would like to know if #1-Is it normal for the injectors to leak when the fuel filter is replaced since it was clogged so bad and #2 is it a hard job to do and what does it involve. I want to do the job on my own but when it comes to working with electrical connections and gas I'm a little leery about screwing something up. Again thanx for the help in advance
