No sweat - if the o-rings that seal the injectors are leaking you'll be sucking air and the car will run lean - as it vibrates the seal will change - so you could have an uneven vacuum leak going on - as I recall the orings are pretty cheap - I'd change all four of 'em - use a bit of lube on them when you put 'em in so as not to rip them.

Check the rest of your vacuum hoses while you're at it - most cars of this vintage have vacuum leaks - they can drive you nuts if you're trying to make the car run well - I tend to just replace them all - it's fairly cheap and can make a real difference in how your car runs.

A puddle of gas under the hood is never a good thing - gas has a habit of catching fire - a good thing in the combustion chamber - a very bad thing elsewhere - try to figure out the source and fix it - car fires are NEVER fun ...
