Things to try:
1) increase the size of the decoupling capacitors near the oscillator power
connetions. Add 100n caps there as well.
2) Run a separate set of wires from the oscillators to the power supply, so
that the oscillators and the other circuits are not sharing the same wires.
3) Use a bigger power supply, or a second supply to power just the
oscillators. The two power supplies would need their 0V lines connected to
each other, but NOT the other lines.
