  I'd try removing the injector and heat shield, punker the 
shield back out a tad in the middle and reseat it all.  
Re-punker the shield by setting it upside down on an 
appropriate socket (OD sizes match) then punch the 
middle with a large center punch or such so the middle 
bows back out just a tad.  
 If you're just getting a bubble or two then it most likely 
will seal up in a week or so.  If you're getting diesel bubbling
then most likely you have a leak from topside and just air 
bubbling out around the injector.  Fix the diesel leak and 
you won't notice the combustion chamber leak.  :-)
