turn off the fuel pump and do a small crank and you will see which one it is.

This may tell you some thing, from the manual on cleaning.

2. To aid in attaching the cleaner to the transmission steel cooler lines, connect two additional rubber hoses to the transmission end of the steel transmission cooler lines as described below.

Connect the cleaner tank pressure line to the steel transmission cooler return line (longest line).

Connect a tank return hose to the steel transmission cooler pressure line (shorter line). Place the outlet end of this hose in the solvent tank reservoir.

I take it you are saying top line as it goes into the radiator as my drawing above shows.

That would make sense, because gravity will cause it to drop down through the cooler.
