I found the leak!!!

Its fuel coming from the join on the fuel filter story goes when my car went in for the steering rack replacement i had the fuel filter changed too. But the garage told me the piping connected to the fuel filter was corroded and snapped so the garage used piping and Jablie clips to repair. Up until now its been fine but it has been dripping I think for a couple months from one of the clips. I for now have tighted the clip slightly which has stopped the dripping and the fuel smell is gone. But i have been advised not to do much mileage and replace the fuel pipe that goes from the filter to the engine bay. Any idea guys?

that pipe runs inside the chassis rail and is fairly long...

Not sure if the dealers make a repair kit for it?
