Hey guys, been chasing this misfire for a while and i think i finally found the issue, i turn the car on to the misfire and i see fuel leaking straight from the dampener, could this be my injectors clogged? What else could it be? As always thank you

Update: i pulled my injectors, super dirty pulled out injector 6 and there was a ton of fuel lodged behind it, does this mean it was clogged?

Fuel injectors do not control fuel pressure. They could be wide open or sealed shut, and pressure in the fuel system will remain the same. There is a fuel pressure regulator inside the fuel pump housing maintains 51-52psi regardless. So if you have a leak, that just means there is a leak to fix, and doesn't speak a word about your injectors. If you want to know if any of your injectors are dirty/mismatched, you would need to send them out to a fuel injector company who can test and clean them. However, this is an unlikely scenario unless your car has very high mileage.
