Fuel pipe/supply issue

[cliffdunedin 8]

Hey guys. While changing the missus 318i's heater hose, i noticed a smell of gas when i took the intake manifold off.

After a little sniffing and looking around i found a rubber hose was slowly seeping gas...after checking it, it appears to be a rubber covered metal pipe at the top end of number 5(in the diagramme) into the injection system

What i want to know, do i just replace this hose or does the whole metal fuel pipe need replaced?

Thanks muchly!

really hard to say without seeing it... most likely will just need to replace the hose,

That's what i thought, though i found it strange that a small rubber hose would be used to seal those 2 metal pieces together.
