transmission lines

Post by xvr843 »

On saturday i installed a new radiator in my bonneville. everything went but i notice that i have a little leak on my transmisson line. the leak is not coming from the screw part because i use thread tape but its coming from where the line go in between the bolt. How could i fix this? Any ideas? please help.

On the radiator, is the return line always the bottom or is it the other way around?

hi, yes, take it off, clean well, put loctite gasket sealer on it and its good till you mess with it again - dont forget to clean the rad part before loctite also

they should be different fittings for lines
