Fuel leak

Alright so this is my problem, the high pressure hard fuel line going from the injection pump to the fuel rail is just barely leaking on the pump side... I am worried its just gonna get worst fast due to the high pressures. I am welcoming ideas, past experiences, or places to buy and just replace the line. Any help is appreciated...

Have you tried tightening it? Not trying to be smart...

replace it with one from cummins... it will be cheaper than just going to dodge. also check with cardboard for high psi leaks

No on the tape thread. Just make sure the compression ends on the line and pump/rail are clean and install.
