Default Leaking fuel injector 1980 300d

Here is a link to the injector.

I looked at a few posts and a video on leaking injectors. From what I have learned, I do not believe it is leaking from the area of the pre-chamber. Rather, it appears the two piece part that goes into the pre-chamber. I do not know how that part is made up and am loath to just put a spanner on it.

Is there a resource that I can utilize that will tell me the torque specification and perhaps an exploded view of the part?

This injector does not bubble, but it 'wells' up as the engine runs. Again, it seems to be right where the threads lead into the part that goes into the pre-chamber.

Durin.

Do not use normal fuel injection or vacuum hose, they will swell and fail after a few months.
Thanks. I will source the hose. Appreciation again.
