You're still posting irrelevant & incorrect info. No, the injectors don't spray into the chambers. And there is no amount of dirt that would cause one to leak down the outside of the exhaust manifold.

Are you quoting this stuff from a magazine or something? It sounds like gibrish.

Replace the filter or service the leaky couplings.
