190D Injector leaking... What can I do?

My 190D is leaking fuel out of the top of just one of the injectors..
Its not the braided return lines... did them already!
Being a Diesel moron, I thought I better get proper advice before I mess anything up...
Crappy pic...

If it's leaking from the injector halves, there is corrosion which can be cleaned - http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=299321

If it's leaking from the injector line fitting, you probably overtightened the line and deformed the ball-and-cup seal. Further tightening might do it but start looking for a replacement line.

Not touched it aside from replacing the overflow lines, which are just a push fit.
I noticed a stain on the street where its parked, and on inspection spotted the leak.

Is it one injector or all? Maybe you nudged the return line nipples and now they aren't on properly.

Just one leaking.
Now I see the way it all goes together, I will look at the return lines again... it looks too high up to be from the joint of the two main pieces of the injector.

Some people us a Knife or other metal object to remove the Injector Fuel Return Hoses. This sometimes results in the Nipples being scratched or dented enough so that the leak.

Use of a Socket to remove and install the Injectors that is not deep enough also can tweak the Nipples.

The little nipples are swedged/crimped into the upper body and once in a while they become loose in the upper body and leak.
The fix for that is to replace the upper Body (that changes the opening/pop pressure) or as one Member did cut the Nipple off and weld over the hole and move the Injector to the End Cylinder.

I had replaced the return lines about a year ago..
A closer inspection showed that the fabric cover was soaked with fuel.
I pulled off them both and sure enough the rearward one was broken... the rubber center was broken about 1/2" up.
