Default Fuel leaking out of electrcal caps on fuel injector.

My fuel injectors on my 94 are leaking fuel on the top thru the electrical caps. The rubber grommets are comming out. This is happening on 4 of my injectors. Could this be the rail fuel regulator? If not what could cause this to happen?

I have seen this with an oil pressure sender which set the whole truck on fire 2 days later.

you need to replace the injectors.
What is the fuel pressure at?

I haven't checked the pressure yet. I plan on replacing the injectors. I think that it is odd that this happened to 4 of them at the same time. That makes me think that it is not the injectors.

The electrical connectors lead to the coils which are exposed to fuel on early style injectors.

If someone used harsh topend cleaners it's possible that enough insulation was destroyed to allow leakage out the connectors.
