In the picture it appears that the updated fuel line is in place. It has the revised bracket.

I would say a leaky weld in the bung welded onto the rail for the fuel pressure gauge or the gauge itself failed and leaked fuel.

The fuel rail in the 08's is missing a bracket and was recalled. Most '08 drivers are aware of it.

It's a Fuel Sprinkler... it helps burn the engine down.

It think they welded in a fuel pressure gauge.
