Injector leak

Hi guys could anyone help me? I have a rrs tdv8 which is leaking fuel from the furthest away injector as if your standing in front of the car on the right side. It is leaking and dripping onto the engine causing it to smoke. Is it common or am I in trouble. Can I fix it my self or not. I'm pretty handy at doing stuff too.
When I start the car I can see it drip every second.
I would be great full any help.
Thanks
Lee

Is it the injector spill/leak off pipe? The seals fail causing leaks.
I had to do this on one of mine (although changes all the seals on that side whilst there)

Just one thing .! On the picture where the blue gloves are holding a connector with a split o ring on it , is that the injector itself or is that another part to it.
Thanks

That's the leak off part connected to the injector. There's a small metal clip that holds it in place on the injector that sometimes comes out.

I don't have a closer pic of it I'm afraid as I didn't take the injector out.
Will see if I can get a diagram of it connected. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Shows the clip (ignore the knurled bit as that's a blanking tool)

Hi guys just an update on the leak problem.
After booking it in to land rover and paying £70 they said they couldn't find the leak. So they jet washed the engine and gave me it back. After getting home I opened the bonnet took off the battery and there it was dripping from the 4th injector. After closely examining it it turned out to be the return pipe o-ring which I guy had suggested to me so thanks again.
The only problem I have is after removing the plastic end with the o-ring on I lost the retaining clip so now I have no o-ring or retainer so my question is, can I buy the bits I need and where would I get them from.
Thanks for helping guys.
Lee

Having trouble trying to obtain the o-rings it says nothing matches your search item number.
