What does this mean?
Dribbles out of the injector lines pre-injector should be about right. Think about it-- each shot is a tiny amount of fuel. Next thing to look at are the glow plugs themselves.

Good, you have power to the glow plugs. Now you need to check the glow plugs themselves. Remove the bus bars and test each GP independently for continuity. Mine would not start no way in the morning with three bad GPs (they tested open). Replaced them and it starts first try.
