Default Leaky Injector

Well first off Im assuming that is what I have. But today after having my van sit for about 1 month.. i pulled a plug and one was saturated in gas.

Now for the last year Ive noticed my mileage isnt great but never could figure out why. The exhaust has a different than norm smell.

But is there anything I can do for this injector or does it have to be replaced?

Can a injector cleaner fix this problem?

And can removing the injector .. and soaking it in a carbourator cleaner for an hour then dry and reinstall fix this as I read its possible?


Also I have no engine codes and the engine runs good.. I think it could have more power... but after checking the front 3 plugs.. the 3rd one has small amount of gas on it as well but just a trace?

What are my options
