Default Injector leak/seals

How many seals do you get from Subaru for injectors? Do you get all three as a set or are they all separate?

I changed my injectors last week but nearly all leaked so I replaced the seals from some I had lying around and got the leaks down to two. These two I just put vaseline on to stop them but I'm a bit warey of them going again so to be sure I'm going to replace all seals then vaseline them all top and bottom.

Has anyone had problems with the injectors leaking? It doesnt look like a very good set up to me

They can get damaged on installation. I apply vaseline to them to help them slide in.
Subaru sell them seperately.

I had to loosen my fuel rail and jiggled everything, then nipped it down.
