What seals?

What seals?

injector seals mate

Stop using the car until you have isolated the fuel leak I would start with the injector seals as I think from previous posts you have been in at them, you run the risk of washing the bores if it is fuel that is in the exhaust. Pull out the dipstick and check to see if the oil smells of fuel. If it does you need to sort the fuel issue sharpish and then change the oil and filter.

It's not that you'll get pulled by the rozzers Franky, more like your engine lubricating oil has been diluted by the fuel that could be pissing into your engine.

Check the oil on the dipstick first to see if it smells of oil but from the symptoms you describe i would put money on it smelling of fuel. Did you lube the injector seals before fitting them to ensure they slid on and into place without rolling or being nicked? Think you need to pull the injectors and thourghly check the seals.

no never lubed them at all

ill do that next time think thats where im going wrong

woud WD40 be ok to use on them?

checked the dip stick and it smells like fuel so once again everybody has been spot on

[colin_ross]

I used petroleum jelly (vaseline).

[arch]

You can use pretty much any lubricant but not a degreaser etc like wd40, as playsatan says he used his vaseline I have used just a little engine oil or 3 in 1 oil its just to make sure the seals slip on easily and dont roll or get knicked on the way into the fuel rails. And no i dont mean some super fast thief comes along and nicks your seals while your not looking although in this case that would explain the problem
