Fuel Leak - No Start

Long story short---went out this morning and the truck wouldn't start; it ran fine when I parked it the night before. I had been doing some work under the hood earlier the day before and didn't notice that I'd bumped the fuel pressure gauge connection enough to make it leak where it connects to output port of the fuel filter canister. (Drips from fitting when lift pump runs)

I'm guessing that this air leak allowed the VP to lose its prime overnight and I should just have to crack a couple injector lines when I get home this evening. Does this seem right? Anything else you can think of so I can have my truck back running this evening?

Thanks---

Sounds like it lost prime. Did you fix the leak?

I will fix the leak, but for now I just shut off the needle valve.
