Unhappy Gas arrrrr.... thank god no fire!!!!!!

On the way to work today I smelt gas...... luckily I only work 3 miles from home.

I popped the hood and sure enough the front injector was pi**ing out gas!!!!
Thank god no fire........

about a month ago I had a set of 55lbs injectors installed by my local mechanic (I think they are Siemens ones, I bought them from Guru) ...... looks like my mechanic snagged the top rubber O-ring and it split..... that's where the gas is leaking.

My question is...... is the top O-ring the same size as the OEM injector???? I am assuming so as it still fits the OEM fuel rail.
Can anyone confirm this..... is the top O-ring the same size. Also it is just 4 allan bolts that hold the fuel rail in place..... it should be fairly easy to replace the O-ring myself correct????? ...... keeping in mind I am stranded here at work in the car park!!!

Thanks,
Paul

After replacing my injectors I thought the same thing bad o ring. But after some careful examination I found a crack on the fuel rail.
