Torque the retainer nut down to spec. it might have worked loose a little. The o-rings are more of a dust ring and the seal is the copper washer that sits between the injector and head. Make sure its not the return line horseshoe washers and it could be leaking down from there.

The little banjo bolts that hold my return line where leaking and I thought it was the injectors leaking. I was able to get almost a quarter turn tighter on the little banjo bolts.

Just spray some brake cleaner on them and them with some air and watch for the leak. Good luck!
