Injectors shouldn't leak oil around their seals. It's a good time to clean the area leaving it spotless and monitor to see where the leak is coming from. It could be the recent seal job was not successfully done. Excessive crank case pressure would force gases out of the engine thru seals and gaskets, a bad pcv (positive crankcase ventilation) system would be the cause or some other internal reason.

97 cavalier ran great had one injector leaking, replaced all 4 with new ones for that engine which is a 2.2. Now it runs rough.

Check you have the correct injectors - if so - spray soapy water around the injectors and lines while the engine is running to check for leaks.
If this does not fix the problem - call an expert ??

I need timing marks for 2002 jetta 4 tdi 1.9 injector pump

Installing
Note: Install a new pump-injector unit, also replace the corresponding adjustment bolt in rocker arm.
For every procedure that requires adjustment of the pump-injector unit, the adjustment screw in the rocker lever and the ball pin of the pump-injector unit must be replaced.
New Pump-Injector Units are shipped with O-rings and heat protection seal.
Install the pump-injector unit again, replace the O-rings and the heat protection seal Pump Injector Unit O-Rings, Removing and Installing .
Before installing Pump-Injector Unit, check that the three O-rings, heat protection seal and securing ring are seated properly.
Note:
O-rings must not be twisted on themselves.
Oil O-rings and insert Pump-Injector Unit with great care into cylinder head seat.
Using uniform pressure, push the pump-injector unit into the cylinder head seat onto the stop.
Insert tension block into lateral slot of Pump-Injector Unit.
Note:
If Pump-Injector Unit does not stand at right angle to tension block, securing bolt can loosen and thereby cause damage to Pump-Injector Unit / cylinder head.
Align Pump-Injector Unit as follows.
Screw the new bolt into the tension block so far that the pump-injector unit can still be lightly turned.
Now align Pump-Injector Unit at right angle to thrust bearing of camshaft.
Using a caliper gauge (measuring range minimum 400 mm), check dimension "a" from the outer edge of the cylinder head to the round surface of the pump injector unit.
Cylinder Dimension a
1 333.0 0.8 mm
2 245.0 0.8 mm
3 153.6 0.8 mm
4 65.6 0.8 mm
Re-align Pump-Injector Unit if necessary and tighten securing bolt as follows:
Tighten the securing bolts to 12 Nm and turn an additional 270 degree ( 3 / 4 rotation, additional rotation may occur in several stages).
Install rocker arm axle and tighten new securing bolts as follows:
First hand-tighten the inner bolts - 2 - , then the outer bolts - 1 - equally; then tighten in the same sequence to 20 Nm and 90 degree ( 1 / 4 turn).
Place a dial gauge as shown onto the adjustment screw of the pump-injector unit.
Rotate crankshaft in direction of engine rotation until rocker arm roller stands at camshaft point. Roller side - arrow A - is positioned at the highest point, dial gauge - arrow B - is positioned at the lowest point
Remove the dial gauge.
Now turn adjustment bolt into rocker arm until significant resistance is noticeable (Pump-Injector element stands at stop).
Turn back adjustment bolt from stop approximately 180 degree
Hold adjustment bolt in this position and tighten lock nut to 30 Nm.

Missing, running rough

head gaskets do not "dry out"
running rough indicates injector problems --stale fuel dirty injectors or sticking injectors
run the fault codes to determine fault area
oil around spark plugs indicates that the rocker cover seal under the plug tube is leaking into the plug area
