Rubber small lines on the injectors for fuel return. May be dried out and leaking. Common problem. The entire set of rubber return lines is a GM part available at Chevy dealer.

Subject: [MV] fuel injector leak? M1009

I am having a fuel injector leak on my newest M1009. It seems to be a constant
low pressure leak, like a drippy faucet. It didn’t leak the first time I started it. I cranked it two or three times were it was unloaded and there is no trace
of fuel there. After I put a few things back together, I drove it around the building and got out with it running. That is when I noticed a good deal of fuel coming
from the back drivers side injector. When it is turned off, it will continue to leak for a few minutes. It will start leaking again as soon as it is restarted. If it has been a few days it will take a few minutes of running to start leaking again. The truck runs better than most I have fooled with.

Any thoughts? I was tempted to put a wrench to it last weekend, but decided I better
research it a little bit before I did anything.
