    leak at trans cooler line/radiator fitting

    Installed the cold air intake. Had to give a little tug to move the top trans cooler line (factory line) enough to get the radiator coolant bottle in there. Fired up the car and the top transmission cooler line is leaking at the fitting. It's leaking out the back portion, not the threads.

    How do you fix the fitting?

      Yeah. Get the quick release tool and replace it.

        *whew* So it's nothing major like having to replace the whole line? Cool. Thanks, guys.

          The fittings can be a bit of a pain in the ass to get them to release but they do come off with the tool and a bit of patience. I have to replace one of mine again, its got a very slight seep to it.

            I got mine at napa it was like 5.76 yeah you will need the quick disconnect tool I did'nt really have to use it for me because I had put rtv it held for a while but I got that fixed. the tool would not go in so I just broke the fitting clips I also need to do my lower fitting don't forget to put thread sealant when putting the new fitting on

              they do make rebuild kits for them but they aren't real expensive to just replace. Personally I dont see the point in bothering to rebuild the pair of them to save 4 bucks over replacing them.
