Probably the infamous flexible bits that appear over the driver side rocker cover and connect to the fuel rail, one is supply and one is return. They usually split on the inside of the bend and helpfully spray fuel over the hot exhaust manifold. The pipe is standard fuel line but check it is OK for unleaded (which most is) The two pipes join to solid ones above the bell housing, exactly where seems to vary from car to car. To get at the joints simply take off the plenum and all will be revealed. If the pipes are not split and it is just one of the joints leaking it would still be a good plan to change the pipes and clips while you are there as split pipes are a really common problem.
