Default Fuel Line Feed Pipe Leaking @ Tee

Hey Guys, its been quite a long time. I have replaced my 1998 main pump (Drivers side). All was going well until I tried turning the car on. The pump works fine but there is a leak in the "Y" connection part. I do not know how to take it off. Do I need to replace the entire line? If so, I believe I have to drop the tank.

Item #5 states that it is a Fuel Feed Pipe Tee with Orifice, what does this mean? It has an extra small hole somewhere.. Or just the 3 regular openings?

Any advice?

Thank you

Thank you Goose,

I called the Dealer and they did not have the part. I used a 3/8" hose clamp it appears to be working. There was no need to remove the tank nor fuel lines. I will see if this holds.

Thank you once again.

Regards
