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?
