I have a drip near or caused by a 90 degree fuel line connector on my 2005 base model vibe. It’s location is under the left rear passenger side. It almost looks like the connector has slid back. I’m new to these connections but I’m guessing it probably has one or two O-rings in it as it is a transition from steel line to plastic tube. It looks like the number on it is 08-GS2 and brand is Sanoh . FYI I bought this car new in 2005 and it has about 265,000 miles on it. I drive it daily. If anyone has experienced leaks with these connections please let me know your experience with replacement or repair. I wouldn’t even know how to undo this quick connector. Thanks.

Is it running from the filler neck to the tank? Or is it tank/pump to motor?

zbyers:
I updated my post with a link to a couple photos. I originally posted some photos with the original post but I guess I did it incorrectly or the site doesn’t allow it. Anyways, thanks for looking. I hope this answers your questions.

see step 16 of the attached PDF (from an 03 matrix manual) Looks like there are 2 O-rings in there, not sure how to replace those
While I see some aftermarket connectors like that, it seems toyota only sells the connector as part of a fuel line assembly, perhaps toyota part number 7720902080 (you'd want to confirm that) but if that fits, its under $40, might be worth it, but that's up to you
usually when a picture can't be uploaded it is because of the site's attachment file size limit, can't remember what it is, but its token compared to the file size modern digital cameras produce. Here's two of your pics in a small enough file

I’m picking up that assembly tomorrow. I ordered it this morning. Hopefully with the new one in hand I can figure out how to disassemble the old elbow. Tomorrow is the day I’ll get into it as the weather is turning colder Thursday-Sunday.
Thanks for your reassurance about the part I ordered!
