Default Injectors leaking?

So I have been noticing more and more dirt and dust sticking to my injectors, and don't think this looks normal.

These are OEM, and have never been removed or messed with.



Anyone else have injectors that look like this? All 6 look about the same from what I can see with the plenum still on. I will be taking that off here soon to replace the injector seals I guess.. Something is causing the dirt to build up here, and i guess it has to be fuel leaking.

so I dont really see any wetness when the car is running.. looks like it is an oily film on them.. seems like gas would evaporate and wouldn't attract as much dirt...

anyone think this is normal?

Yeah, those seals probably are the root of your problem. I had a bad injector once and replaced all of the seals. It may only cost you $20 to $30 and take a couple hours. Well worth it.

I don't think it is anything to worry about. Just degrease them.
