ATF Seepage at hard line into radiator 900 1993

Hi all,

I just picked up a 1993 944T with a few small issues to sort out.

One is that the gasket where the hard line from the transmission going into the ATF cooler mates with the metal nipple on the radiator seems to be saturated with ATF. After driving the car for any period of time I can wipe it with my finger and find it wet. There's a stain on the radiator tank below the ATF line that makes me think this has been going on for a long time, but it's such a small amount no one noticed.

Nevertheless leaks are bad no matter how small. I tried tightening the connection but it's already as tight as it goes. So the next step would seem to be replacing the gasket. So my questions are:

1. What's the "official" name for this thing so I can order a new one?
and
2. Is there any possibility of replacing it without getting ATF all over the place?

Thanks all!

Jeff
1993 944T
