leaky injector? 850 1994

I have what I think is a (1)leaking injector. I first replaced all rubber seals thinking this was the problem but it continues to leak. What's odd is that it leaks for a very long time after parked which leads me to think that it might be an injector not "closing" and leaking fuel under pressure. Does this sound right?

Thanks ahead!

    Is this the same injector you had problems with in 2006?

    The only sure way to check for injector leak is to pull the rail intact with the injectors, cover all 5 with a clear plastic bag, then have someone turn on the starter. After the starter is off, hold the injectors up and see if one of them drips.
    Watching the fuel pressure gauge does no good, the pressure should go to zero in about 30-60 seconds.
