Default Can someone point to the fuel pressure regulator - pictures attached. Thanks!

I have a small fuel leak. The mechanic wants $800 to replace the regulator, which seems steep. The part is around $170 bucks on Amazon.

If someone can help me locate the regulator using the below pics I would appreciate it. I have read the procedure to replace the part so I think if I can get to it, I hope to be able to replace it.

I also noticed that the part comes with some O rings, I am going to check those first. Mechanics are often too quick to discard a good part when a simple fix is possible.

One more thing, is the part I linked to OEM? It is listed as OES, but I am not sure if that is a manufacturer acting like it is OEM or if it really is OEM.

Scott, it is the part with the blue vacuum hose attached.

OES usually means Original Equipment Spec, meaning it isn't exactly the same brand as OEM but that it meets the same requirements.

Is it what I have circled? If so it looks really easy to replace and I am not happy with the quote I got from the shop.
