Fuel leak at injectors

Hi!

Friend's of mine convertible leaks fuel from injectors. It's those easy accessable injectors between housings/rail right under Throttle body/air pipe

Is it something simple as o-ring? It seem to be spraying from a top(where rail connects) and what's weird - both of them doing that.

Thanks!

Top orings need to be replaced. Use a little motor oil on the new ones when sliding the injectors back into the rail to prevent them from tearing.

Yes, it looks like them. Is is generic o-rings I can get from Autozone?

I searched archives and everywhere it mentions that TB need to come off. I seen 2 12mm bolts that hold rail and they easily accessable without taking stuff out.

Does TB really needs to come off?

No,well sort of...you can remove the Upper manifold pretty easily,along with the throttle body,..about Ten Bolts..The Fuel rail also has a Oval Spacer under a Nut that holds the rail onto the Keg..if that is missing,the rail will be loose and Leak.
