My 300d has leaks at 3 or 4 of the 6 injectors at the top of the flare nut. I'm guessing the flares are shot. Is there a way to fix/renew them?

They're on pretty tight. I'd guess around 20ft*lbs. 10-20 Nm is the torque I found in the manual so I'm a little over tight.

If I need new lines where do I find them?

Most good 'injection-shops' can make up new fuel-lines for the Injectors....

Are you sure its Those and not the plastic/rubber leak-off lines that are leaking...?

Yeah, it's leaking from the top of the nut where the line goes in. Well that's what I'm guessing anyways since the top of the nut is higher than the rubber bypass lines.

Pull the fuel injection injector line of the leaky ones off and inspect the tapered cone shaped (flared) end of the line. If you see a deep ring of mush metal or a deep scratch across the cone the line needs to be replaced.
Also inspect the injector where the lines attatch and look at the sealing surface to see if it is also damaged or something got trapped under the fuel injector line.
Also check the threaded area where the injector line thread onto the injector because if they are cross threaded you can never tighten the injector lines down enough.

Overtightening deforms the flare.
