2016 6.7 leaking fuel help

I noticed my truck wasn’t starting as easy as normal and then starting smelling diesel

took a look and I have diesel leaking (considerably) from the engine. It looks like it’s coming from the fuel rail, I’m not a diesel mechanic by any means so excuse my description
there is a star head screw and that’s where it looks to be leaking.
You can see the screw in the pic
Can anyone tell me what I have going on here? Can I drive it? Im out of town 3 hours from home and at least 30 minutes from the nearest town.

ok after another look the leak is actually from that fuel line right above that screw
very tight and no way I can get to it but even if I can I’m sure I would need a new line
