You may have to replace the rail/injector(s). Is the injector cracked, or is it just spraying from where the fuel rail connects to it?

yes, and it only screws so far, the fuel rails arent snug and it seems like the injector does want to go down into the manifold all the way either

it will go in, as long as the rubber o-ring is the correct size. try putting some wd-40 or something equivalent on the o-ring, and pushing down on the rail, above that injector. it should pop in. after that, 1 screw SHOULD be enough to hold most of them tight, but I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of them leaked.

If you are still using a stock intake, I HIGHLY suggest you just purchase a stock lower intake from ebay or something... any kind of "fix" that a shop will offer you, to take care of that screw-hole, isn't going to work on aluminum.
