tranny line fittings are leaking...

[qazvick]

Hey guys...

For some reason I had 3 tranny fluid leaks this morning when I woke up... One on the upper line into the radiator (that one's fixed), and the other two are the two fittings that go into the tranny. With the nuts screwed in tightly, I can still wiggle the line around. I pulled them out of the nut (because they're that quick release type) and re inserted it to try to seat it better but nothing changed. Do I replace the nuts that screw into the tranny? And why on earth would both go at the same time?

Thanks for any help...

buy a new quick connect fitting........they can be found on the help rack in an auto parts store........around 5 bucks ea................the nylon pieces and the rubber o-rings inside the fitting get hard and eventually leak

hehe, this happened to my jeep but at the radiator. i had an asshole riding my ass one night. it was about -20 out and i saw his lights start moving. i hit the power switch on the dash and just as his front wheels started getting in line with my seat, i put my foot right to the floor and blew him away. i didn't find out till the next day when i followed the trail of tranny fluid from my house along the route i took that night that something blew. when i mashed it, along with the cold, the old fitting just said fuck it

i think its a perfect reason for a T5 swap in the Cooter Scooter!

Ok I installed those new plastic iretaining clips in the fittings but it still leaks just as much... Any other ideas?
