Leaking at Schrader valve on fuel rail at idle

So this morning when I started my justa, I noticed the smell of raw fuel. Opened the hood and did some looking around and noticed a steady drip from the port where you test fuel pressure on the rail. (See pic). It did stop once the idle dropped, but I swear I smelled it again during my short drive to work.

i guess my question is if the Schrader valve can be removed and rebuilt, or pulled from another BMW or a junkyard part? I know realoem doesn't show a part number, so buying one outside of buying the entire rail is out of the question.
