Polo Gti: Oil residue around the injectors

Hi Guys,
Just noticed there last week, the area around all the injectors had some oil residue around it.
I was just thinking if any of the gti owners on here had the same issue? Does it mean the O rings
need changing?
Also would this cause bad idle?
Cheers

Thanks for the reply mate
How difficult is it to change the seals? Take it the seals are cheap enough
I am not having running issues as such apart from the strange idle dip i get when the engine is warm.

Also did you replace both the top and bottom seal?

Just the bottom seal. Didn't change the seats in the manifold.
