I'm in the middle of replacing the lower line on my 93. The lower at the rad, is the front line at the trans.
Mine had a major leak at the trans. The elbow is not the typical brass fitting that I assumed. It's steel and does have an O-ring at the trans. It is three separate pieces formed together as 1 unit. It's a one of a kind, don't break it.
If your leak is at the trans, first use a 17mm wrench on the nut that is directly against the trans case. That will seal the O-ring to the trans housing.
Both lines are available from FCP Euro for $78.99 each. There is debate on line about the flare connections. Some say use teflon tape, others say no tape, but oil the threads. The key is if you use tape make sure it does not cover the mating surfaces.
