Hard to tell from your description. Have you ran bio ? Bio is hard on the rubber parts.

I would suspect its the sealing washers on the banjo bolts. They are a special metal washer with rubber on them.

Edit - sounds like its leaking from the water in fuel sensor. I would remove it clean the threads and cannister good and goop it up with some Number 2 Permatex, then reinstall. Keep as much Permatex out of the filter canister as possible.

The black plug with the two wires is where it is leaking. How do you take this out?
