Trans cooler leaking

My bro in law that bought my 93 F150 4.9 E4OD had to replace the radiator. On the trans cooler line He has one of the two connections leaking small drips. He may have messed the threads up, I don't know. He lives in Dallas. What would be the best way for him to repair it? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Sandy

depending on which part is leaking and how the aftermarket radiator is set up he probably needs O rings or thread sealer. There is typically a connector going into the radiator cooler that uses thread sealer, and then the tubes connect to that use o rings to seal.
