how bad would the injector o-rings need to be to lose horsepower?

I am trying to find things that I can inspect / have someone inspect that isnt too costly (unless its needed to be done) or too difficult for an average joe to do

I've never done the injector o-rings I think mine have around 250k maybe I just cant remember which ones I swapped from the old motor

not that my mpg is bad but the tail pipe end is quite sooty, I know dont fix it if it aint broke O.o
