Unhappy Fuel Leak

I've been noticing a fuel smell lately coming from the front of my 1999 Pathfinder. This evening I was able to take a closer look. I crawled under the vehicle and saw a drop of gas. I couldn't tell where it was coming from, so I put my sniffer to the test. I removed the panel on the passenger side front fender well, and found the leak. Well, sort of. I started the pathfinder for a few seconds, then ran back over to the wheel well. I saw a fresh drop or two of gas dripping. I thought at first it was the hose clamp (it was dark, all I had a flashlight), but it's not coming from the clamped fuel line, it's coming from up above in the engine bay and running down.

I snapped a couple more pictures to show you the hose that is leaking, and the general vicinity of where the leak is coming from.
Anyone know what could be causing the leak? I have my crappy Haynes manual, and it doesn't show how the fuel lines are routed or anything. I think the leak is coming from under the ABS actuator, but I'd like to get some more input before I try yanking that out to see what's underneath it. Which brings me to my next questions (don't ya like newbs?? ), other than the pain in the butt with the flare nuts, how hard is the ABS actuator to remove? I hate bleeding brake lines, so I'm trying to stall on having to remove it.

Any and all input is appreciated.
Thanks!

Tim
