    There. Or here. Sometimes both.
    I have what appears to be a leak around my number 1 cyl. injector. (front passenger side) It showed up now that it is cold.

    2002 N/A Impreza wagon.

    ** This is a non-turbo impreza. Not the known WRX fuel leak issue. **

    What possible gaskets/o-rings could be leaking in that spot? I see fuel steam evaporating from right around the injector when i just park the car and it is still warm.

    Are there just the two o-rings where the fuel rail attaches to the injector and where the injector plugs into the head, or is there another seal underneath all those brackets around the injector?

    How easy is it to replace these?

    Yeah, more than likely it's one of the O-Rings. I'd recommend calling Morries and getting all new o-Rings for that side. Very easy job. It's a good idea to lube the O-Rings before re-installing them. :)

    I'm fully confident that sneefy can handle this job himself... on an N/A impreza its cake. $3.02 each for the o-rings, unfortunatly I dont have them in stock. If its a now now now type of deal, try matching them up @ napa or something, they have fuel injector grade o-rings readily avail, hopefully you have another car to drive there, as you will want to bring the orings you need with you for comparison.
