Hello guys.

Just wondering if this light oil misting build up could be cause for concern? I thinking are the injectors on their way out?  What is the cost if so?  Much appreciated in advance…

No, the injectors either work or they don't, however the injectors seals may be leaking, it's very hard to tell from the images.

If they were leaking would they just give up at some point? Can a leak be fixed or would it be a replacement job? Cheers.

They can be fixed by replacing the seals, it doesn't look very serious though, you can relax for now, just have a clean up with some solvent and a rag.

99 times out of 100 it's the return pipes that swell a little and this usually causes this oil mist, , they generally look ok but because of the braid they leak under this and some times need to be replaced
