Injector leaking pretty bad on my 1987 300d

Got to work today and on the freeway everything seemed good, when I got to the stop light the engine was misfiring, got up to speed everything ok. Opened up the hood and one of the injectors is leaking very badly, I wiped it down and checked where the fuel is coming from, looks like its coming from the top of the injector where the metal fuel line is connected to it, any ideas?

Injector feeder line has started to fracture? One way or another sounds easy to rectify.

After you replace the line I have read that you need to renew all of the plastic clamps that keep the lines from vibrating and are supposed to decrease the chance of a line cracking.

Yeah guys, the line is cracked! I was not happy about the price either, $80 for the line and $50 for labor(half hour). Had to do it, otherwise, can't go home after work
