Can you get a picture of the line that has the leak? Here is a guide that helps with general coolant leaks but if you get the picture of the actual line and the general area it is located I am sure we can figure out which one it is and get you the repair manual for it. Thanks

Hi,
I have attached a pic. There are only a few steel cooling lines and they are part of the heating system. I highlighted them in the attached pic. Is that what you are referring to? They will not attach to the radiator, but rather to the water pump/engine.
If the steel lines are coming from the radiator, confirm it is coolant. There are steel transmission cooling lines that run to the rad as well, but the fluid would be redish in color.
Let me know.

Hi,
Is it the part I highlighted? As far as a fix, the only way I would recommend fixing it is to replace the part. If it is already rusted, it will happen again at a different spot.
Is it possible for you to take a pic of it so I can confirm the part? If it is what I'm thinking, chances are the part will be around 75 dollars, and it takes about an hour labor.
Let me know.
