Lower Radiator Hose Leak Solution...?

Lower Radiator Tranny Leak Solution...?

Hello all,

Haven't posted in some time, but need some help. I've developed a slow leak over the past week noticing quarter size puddles of coolant. Just removed all the skid plates and found the leak. It's not the host, but rather, where the hose clamps to the bung leaving the lower rad. The whole thing can just be pulled out. It's like there are no threads left on the metal bung. Can this be fixed? Photo included to show you what I mean. Thanks so much for all your input. Cheers.

unless I am mistaken, that is not the radiator hose but the transmission cooler line??

Yes, you are correct. Tranny fluid is coming out of that hose. Sorry. My mistake. The entire metal connection can be pulled right out. All the threads are gone on the in the housing. The ones on the metal bung connected to the hose appear ok.

Yep. That is definitely the transmission lines. You should check out the transmission fluid lines ASAP.

What should I be looking for? It is only leaking right at that connection. Does the entire radiator need to be replaced or is there a way to fix that connection? The threads are shot. Thanks.

replace the radiator and get yourself an external trans cooler. shouldn't run you more than about 250 bucks for both.
