hello,

I have been losing a good deal of transmission fluid and I finally found the leak.

I have tried to attach a picture of the leak. It's leaking right where the lines are clamped to the underside of the transmission.

I suppose the repair options are:

1. New OE lines

2. Splice in rubber hose with clamps (Proximity to Exhaust??)


3. Splice in section of tubing with compression fittings.


I'm leaning toward #3,although #2 sound super easy. If #3, Can someone tell me what diameter fittings will I need and what type of tubing should be used? Stainless, Steel etc...

At idle its dripping a drip every 10 seconds or so, had a puddle about the size of a CD after 5 minutes of idle.


Thanks in advance.
Matt
