Fuel leak top hose near the oil filter do I replace all hoses?

It is pretty cold today 15 deg and I noticed fuel dripping under engine. I have a fuel leak near the oil filter and the fuel pump.
Looks like the top hose on the fuel pump.
I was wondering if it is best to replace all of the rubber hoses or just the 2 in this area.
Also anybody know what size they are?
Looks like I need 3 13mm and 1 15mm clamps.
I am guessing regular fuel line is ok Or do I need anything special?

How do I get those clamps off? Is there and easy way?

I have an 06 with 225k on it

THanks

I believe that those hoses are already pre-formed and shaped when you get them from the stealership. If you are replacing them, might as well do all of them. Just get it all out of the way at once. Since we are getting into the cold season here in the US of A, you will want to warm the fuel lines before you try to put them in so they get supple and plyable. Otherwise you may end up cracking the new ones trying to snake them into place. I laid mine on a heater to for a while. That did the trick.
Good luck!

I figured that it's going on 8 years old and the hoses are getting old.
I ordered the set for the front part of the engine about 5 hoses from europarts today.
I got the clamps they recommended and a few other things I needed.

How did you get the old clamps loose? I am thinking side cutter or something similar.

After it warmed up yesterday it stopped leaking so bad.

Thanks for the tip to get them on.
