That is your fuel filter, and it is probably leaking from the copper crush washer, you can take that line off the top of your fuel filter and pull off the 2 crush washers off there one is between the bolt and the banjo fitting and one is between the filter and the banjo fitting. take them to a parts store and they will get you new ones that shouldn't leak.

(the banjo fitting I am referring to is also your fule line that runs from the filter to the rail)

how much is a new filter?
and thanks for the info.
also will gas come out if i take it apart or unplug the lines and ### not?
 
A new filter should be around $20 or less and will come with crush washers. Check before leaving the store if they are in the box and if they aren't make them give you some or find a box that has them.
 
Just get a new fuel filter and it WILL come with new crush washers. I'd say it will be $15 or so at most parts stores and yes, fuel will come out when you take it apart, but not a big deal.
 
i replaced it all but it still leakin so im thinkin is has to be the banjo fitting because the washers are new and what not

also do u guys know where i can get a banjo fitting from?
