Default i have a hose leak causing CEL (System too lean p0171) - how can i repair? how damaging is it?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/38085/1.8tdiagram.jpg"></center><p>i have a 2002 a4 1.8t, and i got a CEL and after doing some searches i realized taht its b/c of this hose leak i have, which i can see has a little hole.

how can i fix it? can i just do it myself? or should i just take it to the dealer? how much will it cost?

also, i vag-com it and it gives the code p0171 (system too lean, bank 1), and i was wondering if its okay to drive it around when im running to lean? ive had it on for about a week and drove about 600 miles. will this damage the engine or longevity of the engine?
