Fuel line leak, k-jet?

Would anybody be able to tell me what this is? Is it the K-jet? Went to put the car away for the winter as I turned it on, fuel started shooting out. 
Any idea where I can find the part or whether it needs to be purposely made? 
Any help would be appreciated

That is your fuel accumulator - you just need a new hose / connector that is the bit that is leaking

Your accumulator looks dirty but i bet its fine, if you wanted a new one i think they run at about 250 quid, crazy for such a small part.

Thanks for the response! 
What's the name of the hose? Where would I be able to find it?

not got a clue sorry! - it could be one of these below  it depends what model you have - but i know those two connectors are different sizes.

what year/variant is it? - someone smarter and more experienced than me on here will know i am sure!
