So, I got a crank over but hesitant to start, also noticed a smell of fuel which I found out was leaking out the passenger side exhaust manifold flange. Anyhow, my question is, why would fuel be coming out of there and would that cause the hesitation and no start? I will attach a video please feel free to put in some input. I’m assuming one of the injectors is stuck open. Considering I purchased brand new injectors I couldn’t see why but that’s just my assumption anyways thanks for the help, guys.

Thanks for the video, the engine does not sound good but that could be because of a weak battery, I would replace the battery with a good one and then if the problem persists pull the injectors out on the side of the engine and test them, here is a guide to help you.
