Fixed fuel leak, but whats this?

[Cutlass327]

I found the #3 injector return line melted (see my exhaust leak issue post). I first thought it was the missing 2-to-3 injector return line, but after fixing that one and running it, it was still leaking. I replaced all brittle plastic lines now.

But now, I have oil or fuel coming up from around each injector. Would this be residual from the leaking lines, or am I now replacing injector seals?

You can see it in the picture...

Use a good degreaser to clean the whole area and dry it good before starting the engine again. Then start it and let it run for just a few seconds. Then you should be able to see where it's leaking.

That's what I did, and why I am asking.

I f you truly cleaned it good and only ran it for a few seconds, then it is leaking bad. If it is not leaking from the line connections then I would pull all of the injectors and replace the seals

Ok. This was about 10 minutes of running...

After 10 minutes, it could spread to other areas so you can't pinpoint the exact location of the leak(s) from that picture. It does look like it's coming from the base of the injectors, but it could have spread from some other point.
