Small fuel leak at fuel lines. What does it sound like?

Removed the intake manifold and installed it. Now fuel leaks at the bottom line around the actual nut fitting itself. I don't see it coming out around the threads.

This is the male end of the line. The part that screws into the line connected to the rail.

It's not spraying either. Just slowly leaking out around the nut.

Is it a bad fitting? Bad o-ring? It seems fairly tight. It's hard to get something in there and try to turn though

Sounds like an O-ring.
