car had a wee

Hi So my car keeps leaving me wet patches on the road

It's fuel, and the injectors 4 + 5 are very wet, but I don't seem to be able to find the seals (copper washers) for the injectors anywhere??

living out of the way a little, taking the injector out then taking the washer to my local autofactors isn't really an option

You sure its not leaky Spill Pipes (Leaf Off Pipes)??

Surely you can find them on line from the likes of Island 4 x 4 or Diesel Bob?

They can look good on the fabric outside and still be perished and leaky. The copper washers are not likely to let that amount of fuel past as it would be from the pre combustion chamber.

Fuel does not leak past injector nozzle seal washers. Combustion gas yes, fuel no. Spill pipes, injection pipes or number four injector from under plastic part that houses electrical connection.
