Okay so tonight I fired up my car for the first time since I put on my trick flow upper and lower, when I did I smelt gas, well t the fuel rail on the pass side it was straying fuel... Also at the back of the lower there was gas down there, I thought that we put on the snake gasket back there good but if not, would that leak gas or oil? I'll be pulling the upper back off tonight and trying to fix that injector, I hope it's just the o ring... Let me know ur thoughts please

Spraying fuel at the rail or was it coming out of the hole that the injector fits into?
If its in the port for the intake, no big deal. Pull it back off and check the O-ring. If its actually at the rail, it might be that you didnt fasten the connector good, or you cracked the nylon liner inside.
Either way dont drive until you find out.

Yea I'm thinking what he said it's either bad o rings or the rail isn't fully seated

well, i pulled the upper intake back off and fixed the rail, i guess it was a bad o ring, now, my next question is, at the back of the lower intake there is a snake looking gasket, if that was leaking what would leak back there? oil?

If it's a 5.0 that is the rear intake seal and it seals the manifold to the lifter valley. You do mean the one made of rubber, right? If it is bad oil will leak.

Didnt you replace all your gaskets?

yea all gaskets are brand new... i guess the injector wasnt seated properly, i went ahead and just replaced the o ring last night and we bolted the rail back down and i turned on the key to prime the system and it didnt spray anymore. so i think im in the clear now, i will find out tonight after work once i bolt everything back up.
