leaking 240 injector

Just installed a middle aged 240D in my 115 (straight swap, someone had already done the hard work converting it from a 230/4 to a 240 from a 123).
All running nicely apart from a leaking injector. The fuel looks like it's coming from between the upper and lower half of the injector, not from round the head.
Firsty, will I be damaging the injector by driving it (I need it at the moment)?
Secondly, what could be causing it? I know I've got to take the injector out, and take it apart to really find this, but looking at diesel giant, there doesn't seem to be a gasket between the two so I'm guessing either it's loose or damaged. But I'm getting about 40mpg and performance is right (I assume, never driven one before but going on descriptions, and pulls about as well as a 90hp MKIV Golf) so it can't be that damaged. I'm asking this because I'd like to order anything in before I take it out and apart so it isn't off the road for long.
Thanks
