I don't believe it is a steel tube, and to my knowledge, pinholes are not a common problem with these on a 240, but my familiarity ends with '91, and I believe the 92+ got newer rails with a Schrader valve and no cold start tapoff.

I think you'll find it is soft brass, cad plated, and brazing would be an excellent repair if you would know for sure what caused the leaks. Similar rails in the 900 series were known to have leaky end caps, but I've never heard of this trouble on the 240. If it is corrosion, brazing it up might be a very temporary fix.

$60 is not a terribly bad price for four injectors, although I realize you don't need them.
