It appears that it's leaking tranny fluid from one of the two tranny lines that connect to the radiator. The tranny fluid is ONLY leaking on the lower radiator hose. I already tighend the connections to the radiator but it still leaks. Here's my Q. When I find wich line is messed up, how difficult are they to change....<br /><br />Thanks guys. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>six 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 3153</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,0,18,14,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Both fittings a screwed up so i'll be changing the 2.
