Default Leaky injectors

What are some signs of a leaky injector? Currently running top feed 72lb injectors on a SR. The car seems to be running very rich periodically. There seems to be a tremor every once in a while. Just want to add that the car's romtuned and as of right now it's running smoothly on the dyno.

Are there more obvious signs of an injector leak?

What are some tests that I can do in order to detect an injector leak?

Thanks guys.

So, bascially, if it's an o-ring or something, the WD40 will detect it much like a vacuum leak?

The smell of gas underhood would also be a decent indication along with visual cracks along the tops of the hats.
