The injectors aren't bulletproof and can have issues.

What's becoming more common is corrosion on the electrical connections as the loom goes onto the injectors.

Update. Fuel pump not seated correctly was my fuel leak! Thanks mazda [-X but pressure tested, clips replaced with jubilee clips, and tank filled to the brim, drove it for an hour and not a leak in sight! 1 job ticked off - only another 5 million to go #-o Special thanks to dean for being a legend :)
