Is it common for the cold start injector to be the "leaky" injector?

Just trying to prove my leaky injector therory. I got all the injectors out, and paper towels under them to check for wet spots.

THERE ISN'T ANY! Well, I should say that the only wet spots I have seen is from the cold start injector. Other than that, perhaps a very small amount on an injector if I hold a paper towel up tight.

Is the cold start injector a known culprit?

Anyone?

I'd hate to replace it and bolt it back together only to find it was not it. But it must be if the others are dry. CAn you tell frustration is setting in?

Sniffin gas,
Mark.
