I am heavily leaking transmission fluid from one of the two lines going to or from the transmission from the radiator or trans cooler or wherever It goes. The leak seams to be directly above the Cat converter but could not tell which line. I already blew up one trans and am well on my way to burning up a 2nd one. My question is how hard is it to replace these lines and how is it done? Do you gotta replace the whole line or just a small portion? Is there some kind of tape or something I can wrap it with as a "bandaid" until I get it fixed? How much should i expect to pay at a shop? I had my trans swapped at a reputable shop and he said no leaks.. So I'm pretty bummed.. I live in northern Minnesota and the lines are pretty rusty so I assume that is the culprit or a rock came up..
I poured a quart in the dip stick tube and about half of it just poured right back out in the driveway..
