It was a P0401 code for insufficient exhaust gas recirculation flow detected

I found the leak also is there anyway you could tell me where it’s leaking from

The first one is the gas tank and the second one is the fuel line connector or whatever it’s leaking from both

Just got the new gas tank today I’m gonna replace the gas tank and see if that fixes the problem
hey im having the exact same problem code and all and I was wondering if changing the gas tank fixed it my cars currently in the shop cuz I couldn't figure it out and the mechanic told me It can be one of a few parts that needs to be switched i heard the EGR valve gets clogged sometimes so that can throw the p0401 code but idk
