i have a 1997 chrysler concorde lx 3.5l v6 with 113,000miles. i had it sitting in the garage for 2 years. i started it probably once to twice a month. i jus recently started to get it on the road but when i started it gas leaked all over the garage floor. i found the problem and the fuel injectors where leaking so i went and bought this stuff called lucus injector cleaner and i put that in the car with some new gas and it seemed to fix the problem. but now when ever i start the car in has a sight leak out of 2 injectors but it seems to stop when the car warms up intil last nite when it still leaked a little after the car was warmed up.so my question would be do u think i can jus replace the o ring? or is it more to the problem than that. please don't tell me i need new injectors

Sorrry to say if you cannot recondition it -its time for new ones.In addition think of your safety/family its not worth it-especially the fuel system you don't mess with.

Suggested Repair

If the leaking fuel injectors cannot be reconditioned, replace them. Do not rely on O-rings or injector cleaner for a persistent leak, and treat any fuel leak as a safety hazard.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1997 Chrysler Concorde LX 3.5L V6 reported fuel leaking from the injectors after the car sat for about two years. Injector cleaner and fresh gas reduced the leak, but two injectors still leaked, especially before the engine warmed up. The expert said that if the injectors cannot be reconditioned, they should be replaced because fuel-system leaks are a safety risk.
