I have a 2001 toyota camry. On the fuel filter there are 2 lines one is on bottom and the other on top. When i start my car gas starts spraying out from the top of the fuel filter right where the hose meets the filter im assuming its the piece that connects them both? Do you know more or less what its called? Do i have to replace the whole fuel line?

My car has 200019 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
