Default Need help with purge causing leaking

Alright guys I'm not new to nirtous and by no means an expert, but needing help now. I have had the same NX kit for 7 years and only used it when I took the Z28 to the track, maybe 5 times. I have NX solenoids, NOS purge unit, and a LS1 plate, (yes its old) and a FJO progressive controller.

I decided to move my kit to my 97 3800 V6 Camaro and wired everything up for a dry shot. I figured it was time for some newer solenoids, so I bought a used kit from a buddy for pretty much for a newer bottle and extra parts.

The purge unit and dry shot worked well so I converted it to a wet kit again. Wired everything and went to test the system. I turned on the bottle, and thankfully didnt have the line connected to the shark nozzle, but when I purged the system, I saw nitrous coming out of the feed line where it would meet the nozzle.

Okay no big deal, the nitrous solenoid is old so I took it apart and everything is fine. Decided to be safe, and switch to the newer noid and it is still leaking from the feed line when I hit the purge. Both noids have been taken apart and inspected but cant find anything wrong with them.

Any ideas and thanks for any helpful input.

Okay so is it leaking out of the line or the solenoid? Could you post or email a picture of where its leaking?

Thanks,
