    leak from the top or bottm, sounds like a cam shaft or crankshaft seal. No drama.

    As for the injector, you could replace the o-ring or my suggestion would be to get the injectors done m8, cost $35 an injector.
    If you want more inches, STROKE IT!

    not too hard, you idealy need a seal remover but u need something with a sharp hook on it, a coat hanger is way to soft but if you pierce the front of the seal with a small flat blade screw driver and then pry it off, should do trick. Dont go digging for china, you only need to pierce it 5mm.

    Dont scratch the crankshaft where the seal lip is, otherwise it will tear it a new one very quickly when you put the new seal in. Best to start diggin from the outside edge nearest the timing cover.
    If you want more inches, STROKE IT!
