Before winter, I had 1 leak coming from the bottom of a cap, I figured o rings. Didnt run it for a few months due to glow plug issues and when I started it up finally, 5 more injector caps are leaking. The new 5 are leaking out the tops of the caps rather than the bottom. Could this still be from o rings?

Im also worried that theres something else wrong, because 5 started leaking at the same time. Like maybe my return line is clogged somehow.

Its o rings for sure and Al above has the correct members to see about a kit. Buying from the cheapest ebay seller will get you some crap not worthy of throwing away. But money talks. Please read the Hall of Shame to know what sellers to avoid.

Ok good. Ive read up on Mel and Russ and their products. Would you guys worry about anything else because of 5 of them going at once? Im hoping they just dried out from not getting used.

It wouldn't hurt while you are re-doing them, to shoot some compressed air into the return line going back to the selector valve. Make sure you switch tanks and do it twice.
