    Looks like we are the victims of a bad joke.
    Fuel line leaking - after examining it we found that some squirrels got hungry. Chewed on it pretty good. Appears that the damaged part is a connector between the steel line and the nylon tubing.
    Is this something we can fix or do we need to go to the mechanic?

    Take a picture for us, you can replace sections of it easily. But the hardline is harder.

    Probably need to source at Toyota.

    Looks like a special connector. It could be an integral part of the soft line.

    I think thats gona be the whole flex line that goes from the fuel rail on the engine to the steel line on the frame, should have a quick connect on the other end too.

    Unless doing a custom fuel line, that whole section of fuel line going to the fuel rail will need to be replaced. By an OEM part.
