Transmission line leak.
I posted this question in the Tech section and got one reply.
I just noticed that one of my trans lines is leaking near the radiator. Very small leak but I want to fix it. Is this something I can do with a floor jack and stands or do I need to put it on a lift? Are there any special tools I need?
It leaks on the passenger side. I don't know which line is leaking. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Undo it anywhere it is leaking from and clean off the threads and inspect closely -
They are flared fittings so the should not need any sealant on them, "BUT" you could use a small amount of teflon tape on the threads only - tighten and inspect for leakage.
If for some reason it is leaking due to a cracked fitting on the radiator them PM me and I'll suggest what you can do and it will save the tranny in the long run too
Thanks,Matt
