I don't remember on the earlier MKI's but the SC car has 3 different sets of O'rings to replace. Replace those too because they are usually the source for fuel leaks when you put the car back together. Then you can get this:

While they are out and you are not going to install them for a while, might as well soak them in some fuel injector cleaner.... And then replace the O-rings as everyone mentioned above.

would it matter how long there in the cleaner for or could they sit in it for a few weeks?

I would think a week should be enough. More than that and it might turn acidic and eat the metal.
