could just be the little sealing washer that seals the injector to the head... Check the injector nut torque (44ft/lb) and maybe just pop it out and inspect it.

I can see the partially burnt fuel mixture slowly oozing out of there... Its just a minor leak so it probably only gets a little 'blowby' every combustion cycle as the mixture lights when the pressure is the highest.

The same kind of thing happens on a gasser with a loose plug, it looks like its pissing out oil from the plug threads, but its just a buildup of oil/fuel oozing out.

that sucks, i just got my little tool to pull the hub, so i could replace my ball joints, and when i used it it pulled the hub assy. apart and did not seprate the assy. from the steering knuckle. soooo i had to buy a wheel bearing hub assy. and wile i was in there i figured i would do the u-joints, now i am 500 bucks into it, and hope it will last atleast 50,000 miles. we will see........That money could have gone to my new injectors or something fun too remeber the days of the old 1ton front ends with the adjustable tapperd bearings. i miss thoes!
