Usually if it's the hold down nut, just snug it a little. Fuel leaks, loosen and retighten. That works most of the time.

Just snug it up. If that doesn't work you have 2 options, remove hte injector and replace the copper seal washer, or you can heat the old washer red hot and drop it in a bucket of water and reinstall it.

Need to know what you are doing with the truck, drag race, drag trailers, sled pull, daily driver, looking for MPG or what. Makes a huge difference with all the different injectors out there.

Most of the time when we see a leaking injector and the leak isn't from the return and feed line, it is the holder nut leaking at the body. Fuel will leak in the injector bore and make a mess.
