Default Petrol Leak - Loose Coupling?

Hi all

So whilst replacing my auxiliary belt, I noticed a smell of petrol under the car. I have on occasion sensed it inside the cabin. On starting the engine, I discovered a slow drip on the underside. From observation, it seems to be coming from where the four metal pipes disappear from the engine bay bulkhead, above the front subframe. Looks like it'll have to go up on a lift for better access. Does anyone know if the fuel pipes have any couplings there? I can see where the pipes are held by a four-way clip, and what looks like one end of a coupling. It's the larger of the four pipes which appears to be weeping.

Thanks!
