Oil Cooler line/Trans Lines? 97 SHO

[SHO04093]

Hey guys I have 97 SHO and today I was cleaning my vehicle and saw that I had a leak of some kind on the driver side and was on the front of the subframe, so I jacked the car up and took the drivers side tire off and pulled the wheel well skirt out and there are two lines going into the radiator on that side and they are almost directly under the battery box but they run along the subframe, well it seems that the bottom one has a leak do to the Northeast famos rust? I was just wondering which these lines are for what there called and where could I get the line? so I can replace it? there are two right together so I figured I would get both changed. I hope i explained it well enough for people to understand. Thank you for your time and help

Those are the tranny cooler lines.

Replace them with some 3/8" tranny hose and two 1/4" m pipe thread x 3/8" hose. There is also the PS return line that runs along the subframe on the drivers side too.

Wow!!! That was a nice setup Thank you. How do i hook it into the radiator end??? have pic of that. that was sweet.

I just use a GEN 2 cooler and don't use the radiator cooler. But you would have to splice into the steel lines going to the radiator cooler.

Same set up here. Line runs into the small factory cooler, then into the Gen II cooler, and then back into the transmission.

SHOZ123 did you take that picture with the radiator out?

 

[SHOZ123]

Yes I did. I changed the radiator a couple of years ago.
