#1 did you clean the area where the seal sits? a seal cant doo much if there is gunk in between the seal and the surface.
#2 did you lubricate the seals with oil prior to install? lubing them helps form tight seal/ keeps it from tearing during install

hmmm.... maybe the fuel rail is bent slightly higher/ or crooked around the #2 injector, causing it to seat crooked or not apply the full down force the other injectors are getting? i would say to switch seals around and see if the problem follows the seal but you said you switched them already right? try switching them around anyways, wont hurt

it's leaking around injector insulator(part where it goes into intake manifold? how old are insulators?because they get a lot of heat and then cools off after time they get brittle and stiff.try to put a new ones.
