Default Fuel Leak

Ok While I was looking around the engine bay while the car was on I noticed that the round thing on the fuel rail was dripping fuel...

Is there an O-ring behind this part or do I need to get another fuel rail?

I quickly shut it off and dabbed up the fuel as best as I could and I will not start the car anymore until its fixed

There should be a o-ring in there. Its fuel regulator. I think I would buy new regulator just in case its the leaky part. Looks like just a pair of snap ring pliers is needed.
