I wouldn’t waste money trying to dry that up. I’ve driven trucks that blew 5 times that much out the blow by pipe every 3 minutes lol

That looks like a fuel injector line but I may be wrong
Short Fuse EOD Thanks this. -
A high pressure line at that

That is barely a ‘seepage’. Not worth the hassle of trying to repair something that is not broke.

I bought the "crow foot" thing from snap on when i did it. Amazon should have it too.
Under $11 for the grommet.

I replaced those a couple months ago. I did all 6, only 2 were weeping. Those bolts only torque around 7.5 ftlbs.
I was advised not to over tighten because they will strip out easy.
I don't like oil leaks, so I fixed. The mechanic said it was just nuisance weep. Not critical to fix, BUT the weep will get worse over time.
You can reuse the individual injector fuel lines. It is the 2 High pressure fuel rail lines you don't reuse.
Also, you need a special socket to remove.
