Leaking Injectors??? Please Help

Is this a sign of leaking injectors. At shut off the fuel pressure was at 40 psi at 3:16pm, 35 psi at 3:26pm, 28 psi at 3:32pm, 20psi at 3:30pm, 12 psi at 3:50pm, 8 psi at 3:56pm, 5 psi at 4:08 it's lost almost all pressure in One Hour!!
I can also smell a strong fuel odor in the oil and the #1 plug was wet with fuel when I pulled it out cold. The injectors were check by a place here in town and I was told they were fine so I installed them in the newly rebuilt engine. Does this sound like bad injectors? If so I'm planning on pulling the rail off tomorrow and placing a towel uner the rail and let the system prime up and see if they start to leak. I just want to see if ya'll think it's injectors before I go thru the hassle of tearing it apart. Thanks

maybe, i believe a bad fuel pump would also do this. since it seems you have a gauge preform the fuel pump preasure check as in your manual and see if it puts out enough.

My pressure would go from 40ish to 0 in less than a second. My fuel pump was at fault.
