x2. Best way to check for this is to pull the fuel rail from intake manifold (do not disconnect fuel line), place rags or paper towels under the injectors and then turn the key to the "on" position to pressurize the system. If any of the paper towels/rags have gas on them after this, you've found your leaky injector(s)

How hard is it to pull the fuel rail from the intake manifold? I am a bit handy but no mechanic that's for sure ! can I just check it if I just pull the plastic fuel rail covers guys?

There are 4 bolts holding it down to the intake manifold. Just take them out and pull up on each side of the fuel rail and the injectors will pop right out
