Yes they could it doesn’t take much of a nick to allow 2200 psi of fuel to squirt by. If there is a nicked oring, you’ll have to replace those. If they are older they can dry out and shrink , this also allows fuel to leak by!
as for the fuel filter kit, open that page up and read the article, very informative. And I couldn’t find parts to make that kit for less money. It’s all part of keep it clean and drive it often
and spark plugs , AC Delco 41-108 Iridium? I don’t recommend touching the gap, but you can clean them with throttle body spray cleaner or brake parts cleaner spray.

this post, yes please take FMG’s advice! You don’t want broken rings or ring lands on those pistons .

everything on the injectors is brand new, including O-rings, but that doesn’t mean that there can’t be something stuck inside of it, but I do have a very good flow rate on the injectors

I gave done three oil changes on this car since I’ve had this problem and I’ve only driven it like 200 miles since, the oil that’s in there now has like 2 miles on it

The SS has a procedure for changing fuel injectors, more complex than the NA engines. Part of it is reaming the ports prior to installation. There are more steps, of course, I don't remember what else. It's probably in the free manuals that are linked to in donbrew's signature.
If you didn't know about the procedure, then that may be the reason for the possibility of damaging the seals.

The code you cited implies the fuel TRIM is rich. The trim richens in an attempt to make the A?F 14:1. If there is a big unmetered air leak it would cause the computer to dump fuel into the mixture, Excess fuel in the combustion chamber would flood the chamber and fuel would go past the rings into the crankcase.
The only way fuel can get into the crankcase is getting past the rings. That takes excess fuel in the chambers.

so why you are saying is I could have a vacuum leak or a intercooler leak that is making the car dump to much fuel to try and compensate
