leaking transmission cooling lines

[AMcCormick]

the connections between the soft and hard lines are leaking. it seems to be pretty easy access. will i need to bleed these connections? with engine off is there any fluid in these? Looks like I can get either just the soft lines or both. And lastly maybe a stupid question, but is the small hex head that is just aft and above the transmission dipstick the fill location on the right side?



Thanks, Andy

you will loose a bit of fluid so have a couple quarts at the ready. Do it when the engine is cool so you will not get hot oil on yourself. Wear some safety glasses. Check the front band while you're down there.

NO fill from the dip stick tube.

What is the "front band" that you are refering to? I figured there would be some fluid just did not want to drain the whole transmission on the driveway. Fill from the dipstick tube uh.

Thanks
