    So I found a fuel leak coming from my 6bta. Its a cracked injector. Engine has less than 750 hours? Is this an unusual occurrence?

    That injector had help getting damaged like that!
    Something dropped on it?

    I donā€™t think tightening will help looks cracked. See attached pic. Going to replace the injector.

    Yes, the fuel is intended to only come out at the tip and the overflow scavenger line.
    Anywhere else is an unusual occurrence!
    Have you tried tightening it up?
    Any signs of abuse during transport or installation?
