Anyone know if this connection here is serviceable? I dont see how the clip comes off an I don't want to break it. Anyone used any kind of epoxy that holds up to gasoline?

Just in case this ever pops up for someone on a search in the future. I did not find a solution for this. I was able to locate a used rail local that doesn't leak. I contacted several fuel injector places an no one knew if/how to service that connection.

I don't think it is servicable. I have the service manuals and it dosn't show that connection as a servicable repair. I think you need a new fuel rail. They used to be available on Rockauto but I don't see them there now. If you replace it use extreme care pushing the metal injector retainers on the plastic ears on the rail. They break off very easy. I recommend you replace the fuel pressure regulator too while you have it all apart.

I can see trying to fix it. Dremel the retainer off. Change O ring or whatever is in there and use some kinda flange clamp to hold it in.
Something like this maybe as a example.
