One of my injectors weeps a bit when you flex the fuel rail inwards. These injectors aren't that old. I see AA sells the rubber elbow by itself and recommends cutting off the original crimp fitting and using a proper clamp. Has anyone tried that or should I bite the bullet and replace the injector?

It’s not the injector, it’s the hose and clamp
914rubber or pmbperformance selks what you need.
The bent elbow rubber and proper fuel line rated for the fuel we use today.

Depends where the leak is.
Clean and dry that off well and determine if leak is from hose connection or coming between plastic injector body and the steel barb that connects to the hose.
Just the hose, replace it...

Replace the hose and use a fuel injection hose clamp.

Without being rude, DO fix it asap.
This is how they catch on fire.

Hopefully it's as simple as the hose. It does look that way. It can also leak at the top of the assembly. if so it's garbage. You may want to also replace the injector rubber holder material if yours is hard, or gummy from the fuel.
