Transmission problem
2003 Ford Windstar 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

A metal line, coming off the radiator at a connection, has been spraying transmission fluid on the passenger wheel. Do the metal line connections have O-rings and could this cause my problem?

Yes, they have o-rings and that could be the problem. If it is leaking badly, have it repaired before you damage the transmission. As far as the fitting, there should be either a C-Clip that is removed that holds the quick connect, or you will need to squeeze the two sides of the quick connect to remove the fitting.

Let me know if you have other questions.
