these 2 bolts are larger than 14mm and 12mm retrospectively, which is what gave me pause.
No, that's a fuel banjo bolt, on the side of the I.P. Look below that rear most round thing (Vacuum Control Valve) with the rubber hose coming out of the top. It's under there, kinda low on the rear. Your hand will get a bit warm when you do this procedure.
Looks like you could stand to clean things up a bit, to let you see if there are other problems. You may want to replace your fuel filters. A purge won't hurt, do that before replacing filters. Your primary, the clear one connected to the primer pump, is covered with oil to the point you can't tell if it needs replacing.
That bolt helps smooth out fuel flucuations, resulting in a normal idle.
