leaking diesel isn't going to turn a "straight, rust-free wagon" into a bent, rusty wagon

No big deal, first order of business is to replace the braided return fuel lines since it's probably leaking from there. Then clean up all the fuel around your injectors with tissue and some type of compressed air (like the air in a can for keyboards). Then drive for a week or so and check it. If you still see fuel, then and only then will you need to pull your injectors.

Since you said it's leaking at the threads, loosen the injector line a wee bit and then snug it up again. Not too tight though.

If it's leaking, you should be able to see signs of it's source after a short while. Clean everything spotless and let it idle for 30minutes, the leak will probably show it's ugly head pretty quickly.

It's very rare for it to come back out of there unless you have alot of fuel not being burned. 99.9% of the time it's the cloth return lines leaking down onto it.

when it leaks from the line, it pools up around the base of the injector and makes you think it's the injector. I already gave you two very good suggestions, go do them and report back so we can help you more if you still need the help.
