fuel leak on a fiesta 1.25
hi i have a 1997 mk4 fiesta 1.25 and i done a full service a few months ago, and have suspected a fuel leak for the last few months. I got it up on the ramp at work today and started to look at the fuel lines and noticed a leak at the fuel filter. It seems to be leaking if i tug at the fuel line coming out of the fuel filter but not going in 
. 1. how big a job is it to change the fuel lines because it goes up under the exhaust heat shield (i presume it goes up to the inlet manifold)
2. would the fuel line be expensive and where would u recomend i get it from?
im gonna try and change the fuel filter for a genuine ford fuel filter next week but i suspect it will need a new fuel line or maybe there a seal gone
has anyone else come across this and wot would your recomendations be
many thanks chris

I will pop down to my local Ford garage this week sometime and ask them, but any info on this from anyone on here would be good
