leaking injector, spitting fuel over engine, possible diagnosis?

Hi all, posted this twice, not sure if its gone live but bought a mk1 with a 1.6td engine swap a couple weeks back, happy mostly with the car, although the guy i bought it from Artek, whos on here, failed to point out the rust around the rear passenger seatbelt (a rusting point i didnt know about), in addition to wiring up the stereo to the hazards and indicator relay, but anyway, thats not the reason for the post.I got home today, as i pulled into the drive noticed a distinctly mineral small in the cabin, lifted the bonnet to find diesel splattered over the inside, leaking from the top of #2 injector (2nd from left)? best description i can offer is the connection between the injector and fuel line? makes the thing sound like an aircooled. booked in tomorrow to get looked at, just wanted to know what it could be? seals? seating? etc just to prepare for costs/work needed.any help/ info would be greatly appreciated. also if anyones seen the car before, any views? just want a second opinion.cheers
