Injector seals as a guess but I would not use it until they are fixed.

If it is 100% fuel then yes it is dangerous as it is under high pressure.

If it is the injectors you should have a vucuum leak. Can you hear any hissing around the injectors.

Almost certainly the seats, I'd replace them as soon as you can but it should be fine to drive in the meantime. Chances are they've been leaking for ages already.
