I’ve smelled gas the last few times I rode my 2006 Dyna Super Glide
and now see that this connection is leaking gas and dripping all along the hose and on the ground. A drop every few seconds. I’m now nervous to ride it to the dealer which is 25 min away. Is this a common part to just order and replace? Is it something I should try to tighten? Does anyone know the name that I could google on how to buy/replace myself? Or should I have it towed to the dealer? I did just fill my tank yesterday, so unfortunately, it’s full (minus the leak).

Reason: Re-checked where it was wet and it was higher and confirmed how quickly it drips
If it's ever been off, someone probably removed it without running it with power off fuel pump or let it set overnight. It quite often dislodges the upper o-ring popped off under pressure.
There's a special tool to remove both quickly for a paid mechanic. If you take your time and use a plastic pick, you can do it without tool.
I’m going to give it try rather than tow my bike into the shop…. There were 2 links posted, one for a Tool to remove the o-rings (jp cycle)and one for the o-rings themselves (e-bay). The e-bay link includes 3 o-rings, however i see jp cycles also has these o-rings (called MC-300) but they only show 2 o-rings in the package. Can I just buy both from jp-cycles or is the one from eBay correct?

There are two o-rings that get pushed up into the tank side, the other one goes on the hose side (although that one is probably fine)
The fuel connect leaked on my 03 Ultra at 25k miles and 50k miles. The first time my indy replaced it, and the in tank fuel line. The fuel line on the 03 was prone to springing a leak. At 50k it was replaced by the dealer.
When I bought my 13, it sprang a really bad leak the third day I owned it. 13k miles. I drained all the gas into a 5 gallon gas can, which took about three days. Then I had it towed in and had the connector, lines and fuel filter replaced. I dont like having fuel failures on the road and prefer to fix everything when they age or fail. Good luck with o ring replacement.

The kit with 3 has the one in the check valve. If it still drips after pulling hose disconnect, you need that one .
That means you need to take a kerosene syphon and empty tank. Doesn't take long. Then be ready to catch what little remains. Doesn't take long
Watch a few YouTube videos. One thing since your going after market. Be sure to measure o-rings coming out carefully. All Harley's are not the same. Some of those kits are wrong for certain Harley's.
No reason a handy garage mechanic can't fix that. You can just replace the whole value with a OEM Harley part for a 1/4 of Harley dealer wants to fix it .
Watch a few YouTubes. Some are better then others
I personally would get the o-rings from a Harley dealer. Not all o-rings are created the same. My 04 has never leaked.
