1990 Volvo 240, Fuel Injector Leaking?
Okay so I didsome looking around and found a split fuel line replaced it and thought my issue was gone but again my car sat for the night and wont start just likes to drive once a week I guess, yesterday my car started up but the next morning it wouldn't start again after sitting for awhile it starts up and runs until I drive around then it wont start for awhile again. I've followed everything and now this is where I'm at
when it finally started I got black smoke coming from exhaust, I have spark, it is a fuel issue, I believe it is a leaking fuel injector but want to see everyone opinions before I drop 300 on all brand new injectors, (I am replacing them all or none)
when it started finally i had a lot of black smoke burning off at first when it started up finally, I drove it to work and parked it, (i work overnights) the next morning it wouldn't start again, the week before I drove it a good 20-30 minutes again to get food and the next morning wouldn't start, car starts and drives intermittently I'll drive it for a trip or two shut off for the day but the next day it wont start and it wont start for awhile around a week or so I'm realizing, strong smell of gas in engine, and I was checking my oil last night and for some reason decided to smell my dipstick because my oil looked off and it smells strongly of gas so theres gas in my oil. I didnt have a socket to pull the spark plugs or I would of checked them to see if any were flooded. And the code off the reader is 113. and I've seen a few posts saying it's a code for the fuel injectors but I'm not 100% what do you all think? and what is code 113?
thanks for all replays and help, it is much appreciated to see others opinions.

These injectors rarely go bad but you are right as far as the code being fuel injectors related. I'd get some used injectors and swap them, certainly not pay $300. Chances are you need just one injector anyway which you can easily test if you don't have spares. Get a glass jar, pull the injectors one by one and crank the car, watch for the spray rate/pattern.
