Default Help! Leaking gas

I just replaced my motor mounts and took the jeep for a ride. When I got back I smelled gas and noticed I have gas leaking from the line near my throttle body. I dont know what line it is so i attached a picture. i can hear air coming out. I'm not pro with fuel lines so I need help.

It looks like I have a small pin hole in the fuel line under the throttle body. How do I go about fixing this?

You have to replace that steel pipe.
There is another way.
Cut leaking pipe where it leaks, using brake line cutter. Buy piece of high pressure rubber fuel hose and high pressure clamps. Install hose and clamps where you cut pipe. Make sure rubber hose is not touching anything.
I don't know how to attach repaired pipe to manifolf, so this is not a good way to repair the leak.

I cut the line and used a compression cuppler. It's not connected to the manifold but I really don't see that as an issue. Problem solved

What kind of cherokee is this? Grand or regular cherokee? And what year? I had to replace all my fuel lines and this doesn't look familiar.

It's a 2001 xj. I pulled out the intake. The picture is right by the TB.
