1996 Oil Cooler Line Connector LEAK!!!
Ok my jeep is a 1996 classic with 149000 miles on it. so i was getting ready for a offroad trip tomorrow with somwe friends. i was all done and ready to hit the trail. then there was a pool of transmission fuild under my jeep GREAT!!! i looked under and my oil cooler line connector in the transmission is leaking like crazy. it was a very very slow leak for years and never put much though about fixing it.
My lines seem very good like new with on rust. Funny because everything else rusted. i just ordered new connectors so thats should fix the leak.
if there anything i should look for please let me know

Lines and bending is easy.
If those lines look good I cant comment. Check the right side of the oil pan. Have you done some offroading latley? I crushed my tranny lines against tho engine/oil pan. Use thread tape?

i got both of mine for my 96 for about 50 bucks from napa no part number though. just be careful when you take them apart by the radiator they can be a bugger to get apart and i ruined one of the plastic clips on mine.

Well if you do this get ready to use every curse you know. I decided to changer the atf fuild and filter. putting all new lines and connectors
Needed more cooling. it maybe be Overkill but i am installing 2 Ford 14400 BTU high flow coolers
