Leaking fuel at the common rail??

Hey all. Was detailing my truck today decided to clean up the engine a little. Saw what could have only been a bit of fuel seaping out of the common rail where the metal lines go to each injector. I sprayed it down with simple green and it cleaned right up. I also tightened up each fitting about 1/8 turn to see if that will stop it. should I worry about this minor seapage? I'm only running the Quad tow box 65hp.

just watch it you should be fine. I was changing my fuel filter today and noticed I had some residue around the hard line fittings by my rail...I cleaned it off and tightened it up. Then I idled it for a few minutes..... no leaks yet
