I also had an old Brooks Pro develop creak where the rear support sat on the rails (at 30,000+ miles) and eventually the brace cracked there.
Next time, don't get frustrated, and use some thinned oil (1 part oil, 5-10 parts mineral spirits) on one suspected place at a time, until you isolate the spot where it made the difference.
This has been my experience as well.
My solution is to hit it with a shot of silicone spray; I think it is less likely to affect the leather than anything petroleum-based and it stops the noise for months at a time.
