Default Leaky fuel injectors

Well I'm trying to tackle all my high pressure oil problems (and there have been atleast four now) and the latest one is this: When cranking engine over with injectors disconnected, there is oil leaking from between the top of the injector and the aluminum spacer below the solenoid. I don't have the right size torx bit to remove the solenoid right now and can't go get one until later. the oil is oozing from the tiny rectangular slot on the bottom edge of the aluminum spacer. Is this something I can fix easily or are my injectors junk or what?

I got the top off today and see that that seems to be a normal condition for lubricating the top of the injector.

Oil should NOT Be leaking from the top of the injector. The ONLY place you should see oil come out of the injectors is the oil spill spout.
