My car is leaking transmission fluid from one of the lines. The leak is below the battery area. It's coming from the top line at the connector. Can I just replace the connector or is the line one piece?

Hello,

Those cooler lines typically have hydraulic fittings and connectors. If you get a leak the whole line needs to be replaced.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
