There is a copper looking line running from the bottom of my radiator back to the tranny. in the line is a piece of flex hose with what looks like the same kind of clamp used on fuel lines. I have a leak right there and I am not sure how to go about fixing it. I believe the fitting requires a certain tool, and i don't know if it can be tightened or if i could make up a piece of hose or purchase one. Any advice would be most appreciated.

If it has a plastic end on it, there should be a horse shoe shaped retainer that once removed the fitting comes apart. If that is what you are refering to, it will be a dealer part to replace.
