Post subject:  Transmission Cooler Line Leak
I have the front end parts removed right now for a timing belt service. One of the flexible trans cooler lines has had a seeping leak on both ends where it passes under the lower radiator hose. I know nothing about how these lines are made, but it looks like the connections are coming loose. What should I do to fix this while it is easily accessible?

Rather than try and re-crimp, I just replaced mine while I was doing the TB.

I just had to do this on mine, I cut the hard line on either side and used these to replace the section of rubber line.

If you cut the rubber pieces out and replace the sections with new rubber hose, just be darn sure and use good quality hose temperature and pressure rated for transmission fluid.
Hose rated for the heat and pressures of transmission fluid has a thicker wall construction along with additional cordage for strength.

I have seen some not so smart people over the years use gas hose on transmission cooler line repair and got away with it for a very short time until it bursts/ruptures and leaves the vehicle on the side of the road. :shock: :dead:
