Three of the six fuel injectors started leaking at the body/wiring terminals. One injector was leaking enough to witness a frequent drip (approximately one drop/second) from the body, and the other two were visibly wet (have video of this, as well). Leak occurred any time the fuel rail was pressurized or the vehicle was in operation. Smell of fuel both inside and outside the vehicle were what prompted inspection. Issue was solved by replacing all three leaky injectors with new ones (no issue for about six months now). Am concerned, not only because there are three of the original fuel injectors still on the vehicle, but because the fuel injectors may have been leaking for quite some time while still in use, only being noticed once the leak became more substantial. Was advised to report this issue here, as it is both a safety and emissions issue, and is apparently a fairly common one for this vehicle model/year.
