Tranny fluid leaking

My 96 xj with the aw4 has some tranny fluid leaking from the hose that connects to the radiator to cool it. Can I disconnect and reclamp it, or is it a high pressure line? I think it's high press. b/c it has the fittings like the ac hoses have, not standard hose clamps. I'll upload a pic in a minute, let me know what you think. Sorry I keep bothering all of you guys, I'm posting way too much today!
Thanks

Trans cooler lines have some pressure behind them but I wouldn't call them 'high pressure'.
Standard hose clamps work just fine. I normally use two, one right next to the other, as a simple safety measure.

You might google "96 xj transmission line connectors" or maybe look at this? Pretty cheap fix if you can use it.
