Dear CarPros,
I have a 1992 Acura Vigor with a fuel injector that weeps minute amounts of fuel when the engine is cold.

Is it possible for me to stop the leak by tightening it or do I need specialized fuel injection tools or training?

Thanks.

The injectors are sealed by "O" rings, there is not a lot involved in removing, basic hand tools are all that you need, replace all the seals not just the one leaking, lube new seals with a little rubber grease when fitting.
