The two I took a picture of are the only two I have removed. I now see the
much larger one that is near the chrome bracket. I am still very concerned
that I am missing a much smaller one that is near the very tip. I can't see
one left inside the port when I peek in there with a mirror and a
flashlight. Looks like a big gaping hole past where the injector sits on the
two seals I removed.
