Gas in the oil, HELP :(

[lexan_122874 at hotmail.com (Lexan Blanchard)]

Good thing is that I checked for a leaky cold start injector when I checked 
it before.  So, I am confident (well, as confident as I can be) that it is 
not the leaky culprit.

I am going with leaky injector.  Next dilemma...  HOW DO YOU GET THOSE 
BUGGERS OUT?  Following Bentley, which makes it sound simple, but they are 
not budging!  I don't want to damage anything, so how do I get them to break 
free?  The seal is good.

Thanks!
Lexan
