What kind of connector is this and more importantly how do I fix the leak? I would like to avoid cutting the line and splicing in a rubber hose if possible.



Thanks

Sadly, that is your best option.
When those connections start to leak, it almost impossible to rebuild them.
Just replace the quick disconnect with a short length of hose.

Many times can fix that by replacing O-ring in it.
Squeeze plastic to remove.

And many times not, due corrosion in the joint.
Been there, done that, way too many times.
