Question Fuel injector leaking.

Hello everyone I have a question. Ok well I'm trying to find out if i have a bad fuel injector or not. ok well so i rebuilt my TBI put all new gaskets and o-rings, i also changed the fuel pressure regulator. so now my question falls onto the drivers side injector. my truck isn't starting right now because the cam is 180 out i beleave but i will be getting help with that from a buddy pritty soon. ok so here it goes.

the drivers side fuel injector leaks fuel. not from the o-ring but out the jet of the injector. if i try and start the truck it builds pressure then it bleeds out the injector. basicly after i stop cranking i can see the fuel injector dripping fuel out the jet. mind you i don't think the injectors have ever been replaced and if that is true they have about 209000 miles on them. any help would be great guys thanks.

if i do need to replace the injectors what should i go with like what brand, new or used, and what type of warranty should i look for?

my truck is a 1989 chevy silverado c2500 350 5.7

First if the cam is 180 out it is not going to start at all. If the injector is leaking I would replace it with a new one.
