New spark plugs, 4 smell like Gas

Swapped in new Spark Plugs tonight found 4 (cyl1, 3, 5, 6) all smelled like gas and were visually wet when pulled. Is this a for sure sign of leaky injectors? Or could there be another explanation? Car had been sitting for a couple hours. I suffer from long cranks sometimes but no misfires.

Coils all had white soot on them but haven't had any misfires on them for awhile either.

Debating just pulling the trigger on all new injectors...money pit...

Where the injectors ever replaced before?

I don't think so. I had an engine replaced (used) I'm pretty sure they transferred my injectors over.

No, I get the feeling I get teeny tiny misfires my rpms are not the most steady. I get timing hiccups during datalogs but I haven't had any heavy misfires or major issues during driving or WOT's. Just looking to get this car running as good as it can.

Garage List
You probably should test them via INPA or GT1/DIS. You could also take it to the dealer and complain if you're still under warranty.

I have INPA how do I run a test? Just was on it to see if I had it working to do injector coding if I needed too, and it does bring up the values but I didn't see a test? Do I just start up the car in INPA and it will show something? I will do a search as well. Thanks.
