Emergency!! Injector leaking??

im on a road trip trying to get my 05 R52 JCW home. I noticed a fuel smell at a stop light after driving all day (was not happening earlier). It's 8 degrees out. I popped open the hood and it appears gas is leaking from the far left injector under the inter cooler horn.

Is the line frozen? What the F??

Looks like this is more common than I thought. Sure did scare the hell out of me.. I've got an appointment at MINI in KC.. anyone have a clue how much it'll cost at dealership? I'm on a road trip without tools, otherwise I'd do it myself.

Can i I replace the one broken injector or do I have to replace all 4?

Evidently gas entered the oil due to the car sitter for so long and not having a recent oil change. Just a reminder, clean oil doesn't equal good oil.

Baron MINI in KC was awesome squeezing me in at the last minute on a Saturday. Gave me the all clear!
