2005 eddie bauer trans line leak

[trapas]

Buddy has a 2005 ford expedition Eddie bauer Edition was leaking transmission fluid from a rusted line on the bottom of the radiator or cooler on the left side going to the auxiliary trans cooler. Bought some parts from Rock auto and they weren't even for the auxiliary cooler, can't find what part it is. Here's a pic from another thread it's the #3 line please any help would so appreciated not trying to hack this thing together.

I was unable to find that line as well last year. I was able to cut off the rusted areas and put in longer rubber hoses to compensate. Maybe you can take this line to replace the metal ends. Just cut off the rubber hose and crimped clamps and add longer 3/8" rubber hose with 2 hose clamps on each end.

That's what I was afraid of. Unfortunately the end that goes into the radiator is broken off in the that weird nut so hopefully I can use the parts from rockauto
