Question 1992 Plymouth Acclaim Fuel Issues...

Hi all, I'm new to this section, but not the forum or these cars at all! Anywho I have a 92 Acclaim which is basically a spirit, and I'm having some issues with it lately. When its warmed up sometimes its hard to restart and it needs a little bit of throttle to fire up. Also it wreaks of fuel under the hood when running sometimes and definitely after shutting it down when hot. I'd think its vapor lock but it didn't do this in the heat of summer and its much cooler now. Upon a quick look around I found no obvious leaks, however when I opened the air cleaner when it was off and hot I saw little bubbles coming through the top of #8 in the picture below. I'm assuming its some sort of pressure regulator and that could be the source of my problem? If so what is it actually called and where can I get a QUALITY replacement?

Thanks,
Martin
