[Vwdiesel] Can Diesel Purge fix a leaky injector?

Hi everybody,
Now that I've recently swapped out the injection pump on my
'84 Rabbit, I'm essentially down to two remaining projects on her
after having done a boat-load of repairs on her over the last year.
One of the remaining repairs needed is to put in new valve stem seals.
The other one (that is more pressing in my mind) is to do some work on
the injectors. I don't know the history of this car before I
purchased it in December of 2005. One of the injectors is leaking
(bubbling around the base). In addition to that, I have no way of
knowing if the injector nozzles have ever been replaced, or the
injectors rebuilt. The car has 130,000 miles on it.
So my questions: 1) Can running a can of diesel purge through
the system fix a bubbling injector? And 2) given the history (or
lack of it) on this car, should I save my can of diesel purge for a
later time and go ahead and get the injectors rebuilt with new
nozzles?
Your thoughts?
Bryan
