After the injector leak oil volume has been checked using graduated tubes, the fuel in the graduated tubes may exhibit varying degrees of turbidity (rust-colored). This is not an indication that the injector is defective. The turbidity is caused by contamination (corrosion deposits) at the leak oil outlet of the injectors.
In such cases, do not replace any of the injectors.
