fuel leak, engine knock

I have what appears to be fuel leaking from the injector lines from the injector pump connections. There is also quite a bad engine knock. could this all be related? (I changed my filters recently for the record.)

One of my lines broke at the IP driving down the street one day (the flange sheared right off) so I ordered a set from Memphis and have yet to install them. The fuel pools up where the lines thread into the IP. it actually seems to pool up between the collar and the line itself.

If I put the new lines on is there anything I need to know about that procedure? thread dressing, o-rings etc. I know I have to prime them before I tighten them to the block but other than that I am in the dark.

any way of knowing for sure if my pump is bad without going to a diesel shop or should I just go there and pay them $90 to tell me what is happening for sure. I feel like this could turn into a ghost hunt.
