Leaking fuel

Got almost all the kinks out of my 91, except on two of the injectors. They leak from the top just under the brass nut. Any advice before I try to get into this for the first time??

That's the return caps.
Easiest thing to do first, get a set of size code 111 Viton O-rings: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FMUYKE/ref=biss_dp_t_asn
You'll just pull the high pressure line loose, then slide the cap up and off. Remove the old O-rings. Use lithium wheel bearing grease to grease the new O-rings and the inside of the cap. Install new O-rings by rolling them down with your fingers. Push the cap over top and down and into place. It should sort of "click" in. Reinstall high pressure line nut.
