Default Leaking Fuel Rail Twice.

Hi Need advice.
Running a 924s 1988 in SCCA ITS.
my fuel rail started to leak from the front support that bolts to the engine. It was leaking from the weld that joins that support to the rail.
So I put on my spare from a parts car. after couple more races second fuel rail starts to leak. from similar spot and also from the nut that is brazed onto the rail where one of the fuel lines is attached.

The car does not appear to have any bad vibrations and I am running the balance shafts.

I am stuck and want to make sure I have this resolved properly before just putting on another stock fuel rail or spending the $$$ on the Lyndsey Rail system.

Any advice appreciated.
Cheers SteveP

mine leaked in the same place on the support. i think it's just a poorly made part. Bad motor mounts could be causing excess vibration though, have those been replaced in recent history?

Motor Mounts were brand new stock mounts at begining of this year.
Got about 2 race weekends on each fuel rail before it leaked.

Check to make sure your balance shafts are not 180 deg out of phase. I had some issues when mine was.
