    Good Afternoon everyone

    So finally I came around to fix this. For awhile this was a small leak. More like moisture build up on the fuel line, but you can smell fuel on it. I am seeing if anyone else ran into a problem like this? The location is driver side just past the fuse box towards the back of the engine compartment. it is between the engine valve cover and the wheel well. You can also see it from the outside looking into, above the front driver side tire. Looks like it is the middle line.
    It looks like the leak might be were the metal line attaches into the rubber hose. I figured to replace that hose and the problem should be fixed. Any suggestions?

    Might be the o-ring inside the connection on that flex line.

    Good thinking, any idea what type of part or description that connector piece is?

    Thanks. I'll check that part out

    @TILLY, I don't see any signs of rust. It seems to be right at the connection.

    I was able to fix it. Pretty much the fuel line that Armyoffoo had linked.
    It was a pricey hose. $89 at the dealership. I would have ordered it. But needed the part here before I left Florida for a permanent move to Texas.

    How difficult was it to R/R the fuel line?

    Super simple. Took less then a minute. A little bit of gas came out. Only messy part of it.
