“I have an issue with my 2003 Bmw 325XI. The fuel injectors are leaking/squirting gasoline out of the housing. I did some research and found that I am not the first with this issue. Every person I've seen post this issue lives in a colder part of the u.s. And it happens when it gets cold. I happen to live in wyoming where it's been getting abnormally cold. Not good for me. What I've been seeing is the problem lies with the injector itself where parts of the housing shrinks in the cold. …”
