Default Same here. VERY Tiny bubbles forming, at injector #1

Yesterday I drove a few hrs 180 highway miles mostly at 75-80mph; after a quick check-up at a gas station I noticed very very tiny bubbles at injector 1 (front). No leak-downs, just a few bubbles in the gap where injector sits in head. Only there. Rest of my injectors have no leaks, no bubbles.
All the hard lines are completely dry, always been, also, all the return lines are completely dry, always been.

I dont have starting or running issues at all, all is fine, but what`s suggested as next step to quickly address this problem? Why did it show up?
Get the inj out? or only tighten it? Is it suggested to replace all shields btw? I`m planning on new fuel return lines between injectors anyway. What`s the torque specs on the hard lines? They surely hate being overtight.

Thanks in advance.
