Your injector seat seal has gone,removing the injector and renewing the seal may fix though sometimes the seat in the head might need recut first.
Ignoring is not an option discounting the fact that your loosing compression,the carbon is ignition blow past,build up will evententually sieze the injector in the head and this has been known to kill the repair in terms of cost,you may even need a hydraulic puller to get it out at this stage.
