I noticed that the two steel pipes shown in following pictures are covers by trans fluid because the fluid is in red color. These two pipes are connecting the transmission fluid pan and the trans cooler behind the radiator. So those are trans cooler lines, right? I don't understand why there are two, may be one is to the cooler and the other is from the cooler.
Among these two lines, the lower one has been covered with trans fluid almost all along the pipe. It is also rusted. I am not sure from where the trans fluid leaks. Could it be the pipe itself?
If it is the pipe itself, can the pipe be replaced?
By the way, the trans fluid was dropping on the heat shield of the exhaust which makes burning smell.
By the way, this is 98 5L v8 AWD
Any comments are well appreciated.
