so i noticed a puddle on my garage floor ... after removing the driver side under tray, it looks like its leaking from the hose that connects to the tranny cooler. i tried putting another hose clamp on it, but it continues to leak around the area where the hose clamp is. i see no visible holes or splits in the hose, but it may be on the other side where its not visible.

my question is: how far back does this hose go, and what is the difficulty in replacing it? i haven't had a chance to remove more of the undertray to see. just hoping the trans doesn't need to be removed or something like that!

also, if anyone knows the part# for that hose .....

thank-you very much for any help!

 

Have you changed your SST fluid yet? If not, just change it and replace the hose and clamps when you drain the fluid.

 

fluid was replaced not too long ago. i was just wondering if replacing the hose is something i can even manage - it disappears toward the back of the engine bay, and i won't be able to remove more of the undertray to investigate until tomorrow or the next day.
