Acting differently @ startup

Upon searching 'rough idle startup' and other variations, I'm still not sure of my best starting point.
'80 300TD. Been running well, and has always started right up. Having a little problem with my glow plug relay, but it works most of the time. Ohmed my glow plugs, all were .7 ohms. All that aside....
The car fires right up, runs for half a second, then acts like the gas is just shut off, sputters and either dies or shudders horribly. It then idles up OK and runs like it always does, which is fine. It only has this problem at startup. I also have notice that the front 2 injectors always are covered with fuel, while back 3 are always dry. I am going to replace the return lines for those 2 injectors to see if the fuel is coming from there, or from injector itself.
Should I go filters first? If injectors ARE leaking how exactly should I proceed. Does the fact that it only happens at startup after car sitting for a little while point to something specific? Valves just adjusted a couple of weeks ago, by the way. This is my daily driver work car, so if I need to remove injector/injectors and let them soak in 'caustic' carb cleaner (ala Larry Bible post) I have to plan ahead.
Do the injectors themselves leak, or do the 'sleeves' they seem to screw into leak?
Lots of questions, I know.
Thank yall,
Jimmy
