The best thing to do is replace the line all together. I have tried on numerous occasions to repair tranny lines on many of my vehicles over the last two decades and have come to the realization that in the end, replacing the whole line is usually the best solution. Living in NY where they use a lot of salt really corrodes tranny, brake, and fuel lines. It has become a regular event for me to try to fix the lines only to have them leak in another location, or have the repair fail later on. A quick fix would be to replace the leaking area with a small piece of hose and hose clamps. I used to use two clamps on each end of the repair as the lines are pressurized and I seem to get a better repair when more clamps are used. This should only constitute a temporary repair until you can replace the entire line. New lines are generally available at your local parts stores. Get a new one a little longer than the original and take your time bending the line to achieve the best fit without crimping the new line.
