Shifting trouble, and Fuel Leakage

My car doesnt want to shift into fourth gear... It will, but late, not like it should. This came after some adjustments in the bowdin cable, and the vacuum modulator to try and get rid of a clunk when traveling at low speeds.

Also I have fuel leaking out of the top if one of my injectors.

Any Ideas?

I think the Bowden cable is too tight. Try relaxing it a bit.

Injector leak is probably the braided return lines, those tend to get loose over time and need to be replaced.
