Default Focus 2.0 TDCi injector leak off problem

I wont go into this too much, long of short is....

Bought my Mrs a 2007 Focus 2.0 TDCi convertable that had some running issues. It only has 25k from new & now runs well apart from a diesel leak from number 1 injector, the leak off pipe had split, well the plastic pipe that clips into the injector.

Went to Fords and brought a new leak off pipe (at the cost of £63!) & after i cleaned off the diesel & run the car it seemed fine.

Took it for an MOT & on the way back noticed smoke under the bonnet, when i checked i noticed that that the leak off pipe had popped off injector 1 again.

Ive checked the retaining clips & they appear to be fine.

Just wondered if anyone has had this problem before i go any furthur?

Also someone mentioned it could be a blocked injector, wasnt sure though as the car was running fine.

Any info would be good.
