Fuel Leak at Pump Nipple

I've had a smell of fuel for about 2 years now.. I figured it was just a vapor leak in the evap system. Last night I found a leak at the fuel output line at the fuel pump. I can't believe i didn't blow up over the last 2 years. I can't seem to isolate if the leak is on the line or the nipple. The o-ring looks good and feels like its sealing. I notice a very small black line on the bottom of the fuel pump nipple that may be a hairline crack. I cant feel any ridge but i can see it. Any advice to isolate the source of the leak? I hate to replace both if i dont need to.

More info...

I was able to isolate the leak to the nipple hairline crack.

What pump is recommended for non racing?
