98 Taurus Transmission cooler lines

My Taurus transmission line cooler lower one is leaking at the fitting on the engine side,i changed the fitting,the dealer told me it is the line this is the second time for this,what gives on this,do i have to get this line from ford as they really soak you thanks chuck

I would check at a scrap yard this way it will be the correct size.

I replaced mine at one point and don't remember it being tha expensive. call them and check. You can also try to buy it on the web at a place such as rockauto.

Fix it before you kill the trany. the trany will likely cost more than the cooler line.
