Keep an eye on it. You do not say which engine.

New seals and a seat cleaner, it will start to leak again and the longer you leave it the harder it is to get injector out and clean the mess up.

New washers (ERR4621)
Clean the seats (as @lynall say's)
Tighten the clamp nuts to 25NM (use a torque wrench)

As others have said, keep an eye on it, leaking injectors can let carbon build up around the injectors and jam them in. I have seen pictures of vans being lifted off the ground while trying to get stuck injectors out.
