fuel leak ?'s

I recently noticed a fuel leak, I had fuel dripping off the bell housing, couldnt locate the source, it was fairly slow so Ive been living with it. Last night when changing the fuel filter I located it and im not sure if there is an easy way t fix it or not. It is the line at the back of the fuel filter housing at the bottom looks to be about 1/2" dia. running just above the the valley towards the splitter for the heads it is leaking there, from the fuel filter housing side I think. not a super slow leak but not excessive either. drips til it fills up the valley and then runs down the back. what would you guys suggest is the simplest method to fix it., as I cannot see eithe end of the line to see what kind of connections it has.

Connection is just hose clamp. It could be there but odds are you might have the famous fuel filter restriction leak .. seem to be the leak of the year. Check the top sensor, drivers side on the filter canister. Don't focus at the threads but look at the electrical connection where it plugs in.
