transmission fluid leak S80

i know it's very difficult to say with out inspecting the car but i've developed a transmission oil leak,it's coming from around the oil cooler,the only pipes visible are the one the comes out of the back of the radiator at the top,there is so many covers over it all that it's hard to see where it's coming from.It would appear to be coming from the left as you look at the front of the car.The problem started shortly after i flushed the transmission a year ago,all i disturbed to do that was top fitting i mentioned previously.Has any body else experienced a similar problem and so i'd love to know how it was cured.thanks

    After flushing the tranny fluid, did you replace the O ring with a new one? If not, get a new O ring and a new hose clamp.
    Its hard for us to visualize because we sit on the other side of the car!

      it doesn't have a hose clamp,it just has 2 plastic tabs that you squeeze together and the hose pulls out,there is an o ring on the hose fitting but it doesn't look to be leaking from there as thats about the only visible part.Unless the hose connects into something behind the part thats visible.thanks for your help.

        James,
        There is very little pressure in that line, so you might not have seated it well enough when you put it back together. The fluid always flows when ever the engine is on, so reach in and clean it up nicely, turn the car on and watch it. You might need a flashlight, torch?
