Weird fuel leak

I don't know what its called but it looks like a valve stem near the fuel filter and there is an air/fuel mix coming out of the valve stem type thing.

That's a fuel priming valve, uses the same valve core as your tires and should have a good quality cap on it. Also is the fuel return line hooked from your filter down to the fuel return lines usually #1 injector?

It's called a schrader valve and it's used to bleed air from the fuel system. It's also helpful in checking the volume of fuel that your lift pump is flowing. If the valve is leaking, you can try replacing the valve stem itself. You could probably get one from a tire shop. Most shops will give you one for free, but they may charge you for it. They couldn't cost too much.
