Typically it's not the injector that leaks. It's the o-ring between it and the fuel rail. Chrysler has WAY less injector trouble than any other manufacturer but the o-rings have been known to shrink and leak. I've never actually had to replace the o-rings myself, but to do it you will have to lift the fuel rail to all of them.
