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. \\; When I got to work I took a closer look and I found the drip. \\; It isn't coming from the hose but appears to be coming from the area just below the tank. I have attached two pics. \\; 1) is dry \\; 2) is leaking gas. \\; Note the position of the parts and please advise.
 \\;
I have been letting the bike dry all day since I arrived (8am EST) but I am concerned about starting her up. \\; The gas didn't hit the plugs or anything but some advice would be appreciated. I need to ride her home.
 \\;
Pics are here:

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