Angry help fuel problem!!!!!!!

ok, i completely removed my intake...., after taking the primary injectors off, i noticed one of them was WET on the bottom..., figured it was leaking......., examined them all, put them back into the fuel rail, the only leak i could seem to find was the oring, and after i played with it , it seemed not to leak anywhere.......

now my question is this...
if i had bad injector grommets, or leaking orings, is it possible that the engine would have flooded due to either one of these 2 things leaking????, or is it more likely that i had an injector stuck open/ or leaking.....?????

while priming my fuel system, i jump the yellow test connector, and my fuel pump just keeps going, i can't seem to find a gas leak....., but the pump never shuts off, does the pump stop when fuel pressure is good?, or does it keep trying to pump anyway?
help would be appreciated....

I highly doubt your flood problem was from a leaking o-ring or Grmmet. If you had a leaking O-ring you would smell the gas from under your hood and also could risk a fire. I think the fuel pump is alway running with the motor running, this provides positive pressure on the fuel lines at all times.
