Hello all,
I woke up to find a nice stain on the driveway under the front of my expy and isolated it to a pinhole leak in one of the transmission cooler lines right near the driver side frame where the 2 lines are held together in a plastic clip full of salt and debris.
I checked the dipstick and found it was bone dry. I topped up the fluid and started the engine to see the fluid spray in a barely visible stream from a very rusted line.
I am wondering if anyone knows if I could use a compression fitting and some steel brake/fuel line to replace the heavily rusted section.
My Expy is edging on 300,000kms, so a cheaper repair is the #1 option.
When I get around to replacing the rattling cam phasers and timing chain I'll worry about replacing the line.
