Leaky Injector..Lower O-Rings ??

Alright I put in my 555's with Emanage. I am enough pulling fuel via injectors and the A/F is just fine, and im not boosting at all yet.

My oil keeps smelling like gas. Its been about 140 miles and the oil stinks already. Kinda weird.

I wanna hear from you guys what a leaky injector would feel like ?? The car idles perfect and drive fine, NO misses or hesitations. I put all new O-Rings on the injectors and maybe the a lower O-Ring isnt seated properly.

My idea is that maybe a few of the lower injector O-Rings are leaking and a/f is fine cause the other injectors are fine and my a/f in the exhaust is evened out from the other cylinders.

gas going past the piston rings. Get your oil changed now before it cleans the bearings from any lubrication. Leaking injectors could do that but you will run extremely rich. You would smell gas coming from the tail pipe.

NO missfires at all. Idle A/F is perfect, driving around A/F is perfect. All of the injectors were all Brand New so the pintle caps are new.

I did put oil on the O-rings.

if u had a leaky injector u would have lots of raw fuel comming out the tailpipe, and possible starting issues....but again if u had bad rings u would prolyl burn oil and have compression loss
