Anyone ever tackle an injector leak?

So a few months back I posted a pic of a small leak I had, never knew what it even was. After doing a bit of research it looks to be a fuel injector(or at least so says the dealer).

Anyways I've noticed the substance seems to be oil(would explain the increase in oil consumption) and it sure smells like burning oil when I'm running it. Now it's nothing substantial but it's an annoyance. I'm just wondering how bad it's going to be to do it myself, no way I'm going to pay 500 for it on labor alone if it's just like a seal or something.

i had a injector crack on my 95 Talon, i just replaced the injector and o-rings. I havent even looked at the 13b to see where and what would be involved in replacing them. Its easy thou, depressure the fuel lines, pop the rail, remove said injector, replace/o-rings, repeat, than fire up with someone watching for fuel spray..

good luck nontheless
