Fuel filter issues continue

Ok, it really isn't the fuel filter, it is the piece that the filter screws into. There is an electrical plug that sits on top, looks like it screws in, well it leaks. It leaks a lot. I need an idea around this. Either by replaceing that plastic piece or the electronic piece with an oem type part, or a bad *** after market piece. Anybody know of anything.
