02 explorer transmission cooler line leak

[amys4x4explorer]

2002 v8. Transmission cooler line has a leak. Have to take to dealer to fix. About how much will the labor cost. (By the way I live in Anchorage, Ak).

 

[BrooklynBay]

Which part is leaking (the fittings or the pipe)?

 

[amys4x4explorer]

Guy couldn't tell because he couldn't see the entire hose

 

[BrooklynBay]

Does it have rust spots?

 

[amys4x4explorer]

No rust spots. It's not leaking onto the ground, it's spraying on top he said. Also it's supposed to have got the oil filter really dirty, so maybe it's leaking bad?

 

[BrooklynBay]

Start the engine, then check the area which is suspected of leaking. It should be easy to locate if it's a bad leak.

 

[amys4x4explorer]

Would it be spraying on top?

 

[BrooklynBay]

If it has a pin hole on the top of the pipe.

 

[amys4x4explorer]

Didn't see anything on the top or anywhere I could see. Didn't see any spots.

Are any of the lines wet? Do you see left over transmission fluid anywhere on the lines?
