Default Fuel leak! Help

I just noticed today that one of my fuel lines is wet and dripping. The one that attaches to the Fuel Pressure Damper, and its leaking right where it connects to it.

What do I do aside from park it?

Short term solution (what most shops do) - cut off old crimp connectors and replace with hi-pressure fuel injection hose and fuel injection clamps (I always use two per connections). I've seen car use this for years without a problem but I prefer to keep it temporary.

Long-term - replace temporary hose with SS lines and fittings from Lindsey or source the parts and build you own.

I ordered the kit from Rennbay. Looks like a good one. Is the installation fairly straightforward?
