Well, I've physically looked at the injectors on the rail but out of the
engine .... and after 30 - 60 mins.. the little clyinders at the tips of the
injectors are completely filled.. so perhaps it is more than 5 - 10 drops?
Also , I did look at the book of his that said that 1 drop per minute is
allowed... however.. I completely agree with you in that they shouldn't leak
at all.. (one of them is dry as a bone ... it's 5 that are leaking.. two are
bad, three not so great)

Cheers ,
