The car is running perfectly. Wouldn't a leaking injector cause the engine to run rough?

I truly respect your opinion on these cars and any added information to help me fix this would be greatly appreciated.
The fuel pressure regulator can be tested by connecting a pressure test gauge to the test port on the engine's duel rail to see if the pressures are in bounds.

A slightly leaking injector may not even be noticeable in how the car runs, but could show up as diminished MPG.

You could also hook up a Porsche specific diagnostic tool (PST II, PIWIS, Durametric) to the car and read the actual fuel trims while it is running to see if one bank is running richer than it should.
