I found out my hoses coming from my transmisson was leaking tranny fluid all over the ground. i just took it apart on the driviers side with the wheel off and the plastic off and checkd it out. The problem i saw was that there is a "bridge" looking thing connecting these two hoses and its leaking right were it connects on the right side. i cant figure out how to get that bridge thing off and if i do what to do next. or how to fix it. it drips contiuously onto the frame then the ground. Any advice would help. thanks!

actaully it is the power steering line. i found that out today. i was told to cut the metal line and connect rubber transmission line to the part you cut. but on the other side i need to put a metal piece on then connect it to the rubber hose. It sounds easy but could be problematic. thanks again. but does this sound like a resonable solution? without replacing the whole unit thing?
