So ild been smelling gasoline in my cabin for a week or two now and finally found the leak. I removed the plenum cover and looked in the back after tightening all the regular clamps around the fuel filter and dampner, but looked to the left of the dampner and found a 3 inch piece of tube with two clamps and the right clamp was dripping gasoline in a slow but steady rhythm. I think this hose was coming from the dampner, but it was connected to a brass tube it looked like. anyone have any idea what this is? regardless, i tightened it and hope its fixed, but the clamp wasnt like any of the others and seems to have been replaced. Should i replace it with a oem clamp and redo the hose as well?

I had that same hose leak on my Z back when the fuel system was routed in the stock way.
