fuel leaking from spark plug holes

so occasionally, when i try to start my gsl-se, it would keep cranking and it almost fires up but doesn't...eventually it will flood the motor and i would either have to wait and try to start it again or i would need a push start (the electricity is fine)....this happens very rarely but i don't like taking the chances of being stranded...there's also fuel leaking out of the spark plug holes, and when i take out my spark plugs, they're wet...they're foul (white-ish) on one rotor, but on the other rotor, it seems alright....i asked someone about this and he told me that he's pretty sure its the injectors...also, since this started happening, i noticed that my car is a lot slower than usual -_- compression is still great so i highly doubt that the motor is blown or if this has anything to do with apex seals....does anyone have anything to say about this? is anyone going to agree that the injectors are bad? any input is greatly appreciated...thanks you guys

this is a 911 emergency...i would die if this happened on a hot date...i must take precaution...im sure you guys understand

Classic case of time to have the injectors sent out for cleaning and calibration. Witchhunter.com, Cruizperformance.com or RCEngineering.com. Any of them can perform the service, make sure you get the needed o-rings and gaskets. Prices will range from 15-25/injector plus shipping.
