Almost certainly, the rubber injector leak off pipes have been damaged during the repair. They harden with age, and end up so brittle that damage is inevitable. This also causes poor starting because the primary fuel system drains back to the tank when the engine stops, vented by the leak.
Get the correct pipe from GSF.

thanks for the reply but the diesel is leaking from the bottom of the injectors ie where the injector joins the head

The pressure in the leak off lines is very low; any fuel here would find its way down to the bottom of the injector, where it screws into the cylinder head.

You might just have to tighten the injector itself, or the union from the supply pipe.
