I have refilled the tranny 2 times now, tranny fluid is leaking
somewhere. Is there a tranny cooler? It looks like some lines come
forward from the tranny that are covered with fluid. I have not had the
car up on ramps yet (I know, I know), just wondered if anyone might have
some thoughts

Cut it and clamp rubber hose ovewr the gap? I've done that with fuel lines,
but never a tranny line.

Well you are spot on about the tranny cooler line -- the one under the A/C
compressor next to the oil
Good idea -- I'll see if the epoxy holds it, didn't seem like it was
going to stick. I have some fuel hose, that would probably be the
easiest was to bodge it for awhile.
The thunderstorm went by and sun is back out but looks like another is
on its way, I'll have to wait awhile.

Thanks for that info. Same problem as you describe. On the tranny line
I took a piece of fuel line, maybe 1/4 or so, cut a piece about 1.5
long, slit it lengthwise, put some RTV where the hole in the hard line
is, slid the fuel line over it and put a little hose clamp on it tight
over the
, you are
getting a little more blowby and it is getting to the turbo.
