Oil leak around injectors

[avromo]

I seem to have an oil leak from top of engine it looks like from around the injectors. Is it worth having a go just changing the rubber washers as opposed to the copper ones as I have read those are more difficult?
If yes do I need to buy genuine ones?

Injectors have to come out to change the rubber ones anyway....so the copper ones will also need doing and the seats in the head at least cleaned....and reamed if required. Once disturbed, the copper ones will usually leak if refitted.

Oh that sounds like a bigger job!

not possible to do the rubber seals without taking injectors out like ma laird knobby said so you'd have to replace the copper compression seals(my preferred make of compression seal is CORTECO) unless your going to anneal the old copper washers back to life
