fuel leak

Well, i posted about 3 months ago about what i thought was a clear fluid leak.
well it is fuel and it seems to be leaking around a injector. the fuel is leaking and puddling up around i guess the glow plug. air bubbles are coming out around the glow plug. do i have 2 problems. could this be a oring around injector. this site is so good, i don't even look at my service manual anymore
thanks guys

pop out the offending glowplug, slap some neverseize on the threads, and retighten.

replace the orings on the injector, if you are in a hurry... replace all return lines if you aren't :-)

orings should be like $.12 a pop at an international dealer. make sure the return line cap isn't busted.

have fun.
