Had leaky transmission cooling lines on winter beater truck. Cut out the rotted pieces, spliced in transmission line hose. Double clamped. Add 1/2 quart of tranny fluid to replace leaked stuff. Done.
In the process of crawling around underneath discovered another oil leak from some pipes near the radiator bottom. Poking about found it was the return line to the power steering pump. More cutting with the handy dandy mini tubing cutter. Had some high pressure hose left from repairing transmission line. Spliced it in.
No more leaks. Test driven the repair, still good. For now. At 190K miles plus in the rust belt I am sure there will be more.
