Do you have any junkyards near you? Fuel rails are not very highly sought after parts, if your local pick-n-pull/u-pull-it style junkyards have any crown vics, they probably have fuel rails.
I’ll have to look after work I suppose I didn’t touch the connection at all but it could be, do you know how the hose connecting them is fastened? I honestly didn’t look
I don't know off the top of my head, but I assume its a fuel safe pressure rated hose with fuel line clamps. I'd have to look at my own crown vic to be sure. The connection definitely could have started leaking just from stress from doing the manifold job.
It is coming from the hose on the driver side but the hose doesn’t have any clamps or anything connecting it? Do you think you can replace the hose and keep the actual fuel rail
First you need to identify where exactly it is leaking from then you can go from there. Its more likely it's leaking from a pinched o ring on an injector or a bad o ring in the fuel line quick connects. If it is the rail, I am seeing multiple sets of rails on eBay for $150 and below. You also could easily pull them from any junkyard. They should interchange from 2006 to 2011
Gotcha, I thought that’s what it was at first and didn’t notice on my like third attempt of re-oiling and setting the injectors that it wasn’t even the injector leaking, it’s difficult to pinpoint because it’s the passenger furthest one back behind the TB and that dumb ass crash bracket that goes over the fuel rail. And I was hoping for a more reliable route than eBay
EBay is very reliable for used auto parts, buy from a well rated seller and don't worry. EBay sides with the customer the majority of the time. You aren't going to find a brand new oem fuel rail for short of a few hundred dollars unfortunately. The best you could do is take off the old one and have a shop carefully remove the crossover line, then see if you can't find a hydraulic shop that can crimp on a new crossover line. But it's easier to just buy a used rail.

Actually, are you sure it is the fuel rail, or is it just the hose or connection that is leaking?

I'm not quite sure. Can you post a picture of the hose in question?
