Transmission lines

Hey guys did some stuff after work and happened to notice a puddle under my truck nothing big but there was fluid on the ground. Normally I wouldnt think anything of it but I didnt go through any puddles and I dont have A/C that works in my truck. I climbed under and saw it looked to be coming from my transmission lines going to the radiator. I drove it home so I could get a better look and repair it. I found a small pinhole leak so I cut the line and put some tubing I had for the time being to get me by. I want to replace or at least cut back to a good solid peice of pipe and run new rubber hose. I plan on installing a bigger or aux cooler in line with the one in the radiator. I was just wondering if I could run it all in ruber line and it would be safe? Also wondering if I should wait to change it all over to when I put the cooler in or just change it this weekend. Last thing is what fliud does the E40D? Mecron v?

I have a generic, after market tranny cooler that has rubber lines. Go to the auto parts store with the size, tell them what it's for and they can help. The kit comes with rubber lines.

Here's the fluid, or similar:
