Clogged Injector Leaks on Mornings
Clogged Injector leaks on mornings.
Hi, yesterday I changed spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, engine oil and filter. I released the pressure of the fuel lines by taking out the fuse and crank it over again until it could not start. Then I detached the lower fuel line (fuel filter) and waited until the fuel leaked out completely. When I was detaching the upper line suddenly came a shoot of brownish fuel. When I was done, the car ran rough and therefore I checked again and again for the cause, suddenly it corrected itself and since I was looking all over the engine bay I saw injector number 4 which was leaking some fuel not to much but you can notice the smell and the wet line.
Every morning I notice the fuel smell and a little bit of hesitation, after two minutes every thing is OK until the next morning.
Is my injector dying?
If not what would you recommend?
Injector cleaner?
Or take it to the shop for a professional cleaning.

Seems that your prbl is quite small if it vanishes after warmup expansion.
First check that all rail bolts are tight.
