I have 2000 j50plssm that is leaking fuel from an unknown location.

I noticed a faint scent of fuel and upon inspection I seen a few drops coming from the bottom of my engine case, dropping on to the transom.

I pulled the engine cover and looked it over. The only thing I seen out of place was the hose on nipple 21 in the picture.....it was only barley hanging on. The hose is now completely over the nipple.

Anyone know what that nipple is for ? Is there fuel that runs in that line ? Or was that something completely unrelated to my fuel leak ?

Thanks, im new to outboards.
