Transmission cooler line leaking at the radiator 850 1993

Last year I had the tranny flushed and ever since there has been a slow leak at the lower transission cooler line connection at the radiator. Now the leak is getting worse and it's time to deal with it.

The line seems a little wobbly and not firmly seated.

Is there a seal, o-ring or something that's wearing out? If so, where can it be purchased?

Any recommendations on curing the problem?

    Hi,
    Mine just popped off one day and squirted fluid everywhere. It was the upper hose where it connects to the radiator. I did some kind of jury rig and then got the clamp at the dealer. It cost more than one would expect for such a small part, but it clicked on there nicely. I then read in Haynes how to top off the Dextron fluid the right way, I think it was through the dipstick with a funnel, & check the level with the engine running and cycle through the gears. I think that's right, it was a few years ago. No probs since and pretty easy fix. Good luck.

    There are two o-rings in there...I suspect the place that did the service lost one or both. Go to the dealer. You might as well get a new snap ring too.
