Fuel leak close to rear wheel (driver side)

Fuel leak close to rear wheel (driver side)
I have 2003 Camry, with 100K miles; last week, the car wont start, after I turn the ignition on 3 times, the engine start , then I notice a lot of gasoline on my drive way. Stop the car and check, found the gas was leaking around the fuel line close to the rear wheel (driver side).
The gas is dripping slowly from a L shape 'plastic tube' under the fuel tank, the tube was loosely connected, I can move it up and down by a inch, and when it was pull down, the gas leaked more. (picture attached)
It looks like a loosed pipe, I am looking for a fuel line diagram, or any advices on what may be the issue.
Thanks,

I have a 1995 Camry V6 LE sedan(salt belt). I was leaking fuel and my filler pipe was severely rusted out and when removed kind of crumbled due to the heavy rust. I have a metal tank and my rubber hoses to them where shot. The metal tank fuel nipple was fine but vent nipple had a small rust hole which I fixed with JB WELD. I removed the rust with a plastic tool due to spark potential. The gas leak which was mainly from the filler pipe also came from a few other places so look carefully.

Thanks for all the replies; this is what I found. It was SQUIRREL !!
1, The toyota parts helps me identify the part, it is the fuel pump tube, the plastic tube connect to the fuel pump.
2, taking a close look at the leak area, I found lots of scratch marks / cut. and the leak is from one of the cut.
3, Taking apart the real floor service hole, found lots of nut shells inside.
Most likely, this is the case. Squirrel went in the small space above the fuel pump access hole by tracing the fuel pipe.

Hi Mdodson,
I had same problem today for my 2002 camry LE which you had a while back. Its leaking on the hose connector near the rear left passenger seat right below the tank. It seems like plastic pipe seems started to burn/eaten up for some reason very very slow(May 50ML in a week) Can you please guide me with part number and any video to fix it myself? Local mechanic gave a quote for $500 to fix my old dude lol..
I see this pipe is coming right from tank/fuel pump.
Appreciate all your help on this..

I didn't use a video. The only suggestion that I have is to make sure you know the fuel line routing from the bottom up to the top of the fuel tank before disconnecting the old fuel line. It is a tight place to work and only goes through there one way. Pay attention to how the old one comes out and you should be fine.
