Help! How do I fix a fuel leak at this fitting?

I guess I should've asked for a part number...
can I get just the fitting, or do I have to get the whole hose?...etc. etc. Also, do I need to worry about pressure in the fuel system when I take it off?
Thanks
Thanks

My guess would be the whole hose. Im not sure about the pressure
but I guess you could open your gas cap to relieve it. Im not sure though.
The P/N is probably on the hose, but It looks like it might be N 10258201.

Please let us know how long the hose you get is, and if it includes the fitting
I may need to get this too, as I saw it leaking out of the flare nut recently but haven't again.
No, there is nothing you need to do to prime the system; the ECU does that automatically just before activating the starter when you turn the ignition key.
BTW - If you let the car sit overnight, it is quite likely all residual fuel pressure will have leaked out through the FPR and/or check valve at that point.
