Anyone have the fuel regulator/accumulator leaking?

Anyone ever seen the fuel accumulator/regulator leaking fuel while running? It is directly on top of the engine bay, right hand of intake by the corner of the air cleaner assembly. Mine is leaking fuel while running, a steady stream. Of course it happens on a Sunday, just before I was gonna take it on a 8 hour trip to see family, not that any dealer would stock such an item.

I was walking by the front when I could smell gas, so I popped the hood and found it leaking gas steady, so I shut it down. Now I'll have to wait till Monday to get it towed down, and I'll have to use my 91 4x4 which is fantastic on fuel,lol, and no sat radio, boo. Oh well. Just wanted to see if anyone else had this issue, since I seem to find all new issue's with mine, and unfortunate that the wife and I like it so much, otherwise I might of thought of trading it in.

The high pressure fuel pump? Have you ever messed with any of the fittings?

No I have not done anything, only dealer has touched it while under warranty. And it is not the fitting leaking, it is the round housing in the fuel line on the engine itself leaking.

Well it got replaced, and is as good as new.

It is not in that picture as far as I can see. But it is in this picture, lower right hand corner of air box, silver disc looking item.
