Fuel leak help!

The last couple days I have been smelling a raw fuel smell and linger cold starts on my 2006 F250. I assumed it was an injector going out which I just recently replaced all injectors with oem. But parked my truck last night and noticed small raw fuel puddle under the engine. Looked closer and noticed the fuel line goi g into passenger side head leaking at banjo fitting going into the head. I never touched those but gave it a little crank to tighten it. It was tight but did allow me to turn it maybe 1/32 of a turn. I didn’t want to overtighten. Don’t know torque. It seemed to have stopped the leak for now, but should I be concerned and replace the lines or leave it alone?
thanks

You don't have to replace the lines. However, if it leaks again, the copper washers that seal the connection should be replaced. The torque is 28 ± 3 lbf·ft.
