Best Ideas how to Fix?
DIY or replace with new connecters.?
PART #s ?
Fuel is leaking through the Connector and dripping on the top drivers side if my motor. when the car is on and system under pressure Please give advice to repair, Because Gasket maker did not work lol Look at photos. please its dripping allot ! Jayson 2015 Late model /2016 Red Jaguar XF 3.0 AWD
Did you take the connection apart and check the O-ring? Look at the blue plastic and you can see what needs to move so that connection will come apart. It's very simple?
DO NOT use gasket maker! Gluing things together is not the way to repair the leak.
I do thank you for that picture and I hope anyone with an AWD version will see that! The red ribbon is the emergency release to put the transmission in N if the car has no power. All models EXCEPT the AWD versions have this release inside the car under the center console. It's not very well known either BUT it is described in the owners manual.

I can't figure out how to take the Connector apart. I found this automotive gas resistant glue called All seal and you just coat that whole section, with a paint brush every 4 hours 4 times. It will harden but be flexible. Advice?
but I see the two tabs? They move back and forth , but do I push or pull to remove and could I just cut this section out and add in a straight fuel line with male Connectors and clamp? I really don't understand how to Fix

Don't let anyone approach it with any kind of spray, goo or paste. If it's leaking, the pressure will decrease all by itself. You separate the two pipes by squeezing the blue tabs together, push the two pipes together while you squeeze. There's an O-ring in there. As above, it's very unlikely that this connector has sprung a leak all by itself without being tampered with. If the connector is damage and needs to be replaced, it comes with the whole pipe.
To be honest, if your level of knowledge of automotive repair is such that you have approached this problem with a paint-on sealant, you should probably get this to someone with more knowledge to do the repair, it has the potential to set your car on fire. Please don't be offended by that, I'm sure you have all sorts of knowledge in areas that I know nothing about, but this probably isn't the repair to start a learning journey with.
