In a BHW engine, what are the symptoms of bad injector seals, from mild to extreme?

Thank you,

Hard start after 6+ hours of sitting. Worse when sitting up hill.

From what I have seen it's soot in your fuel system, tank and fuel filter. I have seen a couple bad enough that it scores the head where the inj fits into it
