The last time I saw the leak was three weeks ago, and memory is failing. It
looked like a soft rubber line, not screw type, was covering a metal line.
Could it be the hard line had worn through at the clip holding it to the block?

And it can handle the pressure? I assume there is pressure in the line that
requires some magic to keep it in.

This is the typical failure -- rubber goes bad, line vibrates against

You can buy bulk trans oil cooler hose at flaps. It is made for oil,

I had one on the SD get worn through, or rusted through or something, at
the clamp that holds it somewhere to the frame. NLA so I just spliced a
bit of fuel line over it which seems to be holding.

Took the SL to the shop for a pro oil change. They offer free labor and do a
130 point check, all for the price of M1 and a filter. A bunch of niggling
things were found, as well as a few leaks.
Differential leak is probably not needing attention, but the ATF cooling hard
