i had the same trouble with my filter, i just went to the parts store and got some hose and hose clamps and cut the old filter out nut and all and replaced them with the hose/clamp setup, as far as the leaking fuel i didnt have to deal with a leak because mine started to torque the pipe before even cracking the nut open, but depending how big the leak is you may be able to take a bar of soap and kinda grate it or force it into where its leaking, i heard soap hardens and seals small leaks temporarily in fuel systems, but also dont drive the car like that (super unsafe)... GL hope you solve your issue painlessly

you MUST use flare nut wrenches and be super careful when working with gas lines and hydraulics lines. My advice is to only fix it the right way and that is with the proper section of fuel line (and perhaps a new fuel filter) that is needed either from a junk/parts Lexus or from the Lexus dealer. Watching a SC burn to the ground because of a make shift patch repair on a fuel line would be a very sad sight. Also houses have been known to burn down when said car is parked in the garage.....
