Leaky Injector Test?

I am thinking I may have perhaps a leaky injector. The symptom I am having is very rough starts as if she is flooding all the time. Once the car does start up with a bit of fighting she runs like a champ. She does run fairly rich as well.

To test this theory I was told I can install a fuel pressure gauge, and let the fuel system gain pressure and then turn off the car and see if I see a fairly immediate drop in fuel pressure.

I was curious where is the easiest place to install the gauge temporarily while I diagnose this. I was thinking right after the external fuel filter. Would this work fine?

I just don't want to go through the pain of changing the injectors if that doesn't appear to be the problem.

Any other ideas are welcomed as well.
