Tranny lines are getting punky near the transmission, anybody know what size they are so I could make my own and get the parts before I tear them off?

 

Just wanted to update on the tranny lines. I bought a new line at parts store for $45 instead of repairing the old line. The fittings were easily accessed by reaching from behind the crossmember and using an basic 5/8 wrench. Not as bad as I thought after reading about the heat shield being in the way. The hardest part was snaking the line up to the top of the radiator. A little bending and persuading got it up there. All done and no more seeping.

 

Aww man, I just added a little fluid to make up for the lost fluid from replacing the cooling line. Turns out my dipstick tube is rotted and I dumped half a quart on the ground.

 

I would go to a wrecker for the dip stick tube.
Hopefully that will be the last of your problem.
