Is the fuel coming out the opened vent tube?
If so, yes, you need a new regulator.

You could find a car one, I think most injector systems run at 40 psi, even if it's 5 psi different it will still work.
If it's only leaking a little bit add some tubing and run it into a container.

There is an adjustable inline "JDM" style you could substitute.  You'd have to figure out the return -- maybe put a barb where the current regulator is.  They cost ~$30.

Here's an example from ebay.  they are also available from most auto parts stores.  I have one on the trike.  Easy to dial in the pressure
