a second owner aircraft. previous A&P inspection. flying for a couple of years. owner inspection found severe fuel injected fuel line wear abrasion. in true honesty, perhaps the best inspector is the guy behind the stick. not much time left for this hose.
And the plated brass crimp collar and JIC nut. Definately not a good thing, and was overlooked apparently several times.

That looks pretty close to a very bad flight. A good reminder to inspect all the fuel hoses very carefully at least yearly.
OMG...that looks like it was ground out by by a Dremel/die grinder for clearance.
chewed through by lower baffle fastening tie-rod. Oil leaking. Obviously making a mess. Checked other side and had to make adjustments. Engine had 350hrs since new.
