Cold Start Injector leak?

Hi all,
After putting about 300 miles on my car since I installed the SLP runners, I noticed some fuel stains on the lower manifold by injectors 5/7, and the feed line for the cold-start injector is damp with fuel. I know I tightened the fitting at the back of the fuel rail that feeds the CSI, and the O-ring seemed allright, so I reused it.

Is there a special way to tighten the fitting? Any other suggestions where it could be leaking from?

I'd just eliminate it and run a chip from an 89.

Thanks Jim. What do I do about the '89 VATS? Or would I need to have a chip burned to take care of that?
