I have a 89 5.0. Did a smoke test to check for vac leaks. I had smoke coming from the throttle body to intake mating surface. Which I'll fix. A had smoke coming out the #1 injector. I don't think it was from anywhere around there. Has anyone else heard of this? I had a hissing noise while the car was running previously around there. So thunk it's that. Wondering if anyone has seen this before?

From the injector itself, or where it "plugs" into the lower intake? There's an O-ring in there that creates a seal. Remove the injector and if the o-ring is dried out, just get a set of 8 pintle caps and O-rings and replace them all. Use a little o-ring grease and reinstall.

Do not use oil, as oil will cause O-rings to swell
