nope....

Thanks for reminding me, usually I fill a cap with Auto Tran Fluid (ATF) and use a q-tip to push fluid into the ball joints of the throttle gears.... there is no wd-40 overspray in that picture

After I washed the engine the area was bone dry. Now it is wet at the base of the injector. Notice on the angle of the first pic that the side of the injector is dry and nothing is leaking down the side from the return lines. As far as I can tell the valve cover isn't leaking either.

I think when it is running I might spray some water with some dish soap and see if it bubbles? Is that worth trying as a way to diagnose? Or, should I clean / dry the area with some brake cleaner and then just let the car idle and watch the area?

If the leak is at the base of the injector, what should I do next?
*Pull the hard line and braided return lines
*Pull the injector
*Replace what piece to stop the leak???????? <------
*Retorque
*Make new / install fuel return line
*Reinstall hardline

Is that it?
