Just replace the seal, most injector seals are a common size.

check the fuel breathers and the return pipe. i had a split in one of the breathers coming off the inlet in my old x14xe corsa...and that stank of fuel occasionally, or everytime it rained.
Got rid of the car before i got to fixing it...

Over fueling would that kick blue smoke out sometimes when turning the car over?
