Question Leaking Injector

Ive got a 2005 LLY and its spittin fuel all over under the hood. I checked it out and i think that the number 4 injector is leakin. I know that ill have to pull it out and replace the o-rings. What i dont know is how much of a bitch it will be and how much the o-rings cost. If anyone knows anything can you get back to me and let me know. Thanks

I think its just one of the seals. either the one that fits on the injector or the one that sits down in the hole. i bought the kit which contains the seals for all 8 injectors. just dont wanna start ripin **** apart without knowing if theres anything i need to look out for ya know?

theres two lines on each injector, a steel one coming from the fuel rail.

and a smaller fuel return line that runs along the injectors.

i dont think its the fuel lines. i cleaned up the area around the injectors and ran the engine. i had someone else step on the gas and fuel started drippin out from the injector.
