Ok. So I just recently (maybe 500 miles ago) had 215 nozzle's put on my injectors. Well I installed them and they ran great and with no leaks, they just sealed right up. Well today I noticed it was hazing while idling, so I popped the hood and #5 injector is leaking and bubbling air out around the hold down nut? I torqued them all to spec and I just dont know why it all of a sudden it started blowing air out and leaking? Any ideas?
 
When you put your injectors back in did you replace or reuse the copper washer around the nozzle?
 
hmmm i would pull the injector out and make sure its good and clean in the head and on the injector so it can make a good seat. Use some good ol greese too on the washer. Its kinda weird that it started leaking after you drove it a while. After you try and clean it if it still leaks maybe try swapping it with another injector and see if it still leaks. That would help narrow down to see if it is the injector
 
Ya good idea. I just find it strange that it had been fine then all of a sudden it did it. And even with it leaking a little will that cause it it haze at idle?
 
Just curious what kind of injector are they from reading this I noticed I got a leaky injector an it just started I put them in an they sealed right up but now I got a leak
 
Well worked on it today. And well long story short I pulled the injector and there was crap and gunk under the washer (although I cleaned them out before installing). But then put it back in and torqued it 5lbs more than before and its fine so far, so hopefully it fixed it. Thanks for all the help though!
