Default Gas leak

Hey all, need some input if you would. I was riding into work this morning and when I stopped at a light I smelled gas. So I looked down on the left side of the bike and saw it dripping from the fuel line.&nbsp\\; When I got to work I took a closer look and I found the drip.&nbsp\\; It isn't coming from the hose but appears to be coming from the area just below the tank. I have attached two pics.&nbsp\\; 1) is dry&nbsp\\; 2) is leaking gas.&nbsp\\; Note the position of the parts and please advise.
&nbsp\\;
I have been letting the bike dry all day since I arrived (8am EST) but I am concerned about starting her up.&nbsp\\; The gas didn't hit the plugs or anything but some advice would be appreciated. I need to ride her home.
&nbsp\\;
Pics are here:

There is an '0' ring up inside the quick disconect that goes bad and lets it leak under pressure.&nbsp\\; Pop off the line and stick it back in and see if it continues t oleak when the fuel pump is running.
