More good news: I think the first injector line is not leaking now ... I noticed the torque wrench had slipped down to 10 ft-lbs so (hopefully) it was just loose. I also replaced the other line and it's only weeping a little bit now, so maybe if I find another replacement line for that, I'll be good to go!
I'm calling it a night and celebrating just a little bit with something from Starbucks.

It's not easy to use a torque wrench on the line nuts. I tighten them (by feel) just enough so they do not leak. Take the line off and look under a magnifier at the flared ends. If you see a groove there that is what's making it leak. You may be able to fix it by polishing that groove away with 400 grit wet/dry paper in a twisting motion.
