So I found a fuel leak in my assembly. Specifically the metal line that makes a 90 degree bend has a small hole at the bend that lets fuel drip out.

Should I be buying a whole new assembly or can I just get someone to weld a new 90 degree piece to the thing?

(The thing had a hole at the kink and I got angry and snapped it, so now like an inch sticks out from the flat surface)

I am sure that is aluminum and I don't think you are going to want to do any welding on it. I wonder if you could get some high pressure fuel line and about 4 clamps and put the line in between the break, with 2 clamps on each side. I don't know if it would work, but thats a cheap alternative until you find a new line.
 
Weld + fuel line = dangerous?

It'd either replace it or fix it correctly. Cutting it and extending it will be a bit of work, especially to get to if you try to do it with the assembly in the car.

You can try something like quik-steel? JB weld? I've only used JB weld on 1 application and it held up pretty well under abuse. Dunno how I'd trust it on a fuel line though. If it were me... I'd replace it.
