Re: Transmission line leak - what's the most likely source?

Sorry to bring up such an old post, but...

My 95 is doing the same thing except, the fitting of the fluid line seems to have a weep hole right behind where it is crimped. When the car is running, fluid wells up in the hole, fills all the indents of the fitting then begins dripping. I just bought the car and completed the lower intake manifold repair but I did not touch the fluid coolant lines. I don't think the leak was occuring before the repair.

The only complication I had was neglecting to correctly install the PCV line to the intake manifold (the one held down by the throttle cable bracket) resulting in a huge open hole in the manifold. The car started right up and imediatly went to the rev-limiter. It made some popping sounds when I shut it down and I'm wondering if there is any way I could have damaged the transmission?

Anyway, thanks for your replies. Again, the hole appears to a weep hole, it is perfectly drilled in the metal fitting of the coolant line. Is it supposed to be there? What does it mean when fluid comes out? Is it an indicator of some other damage?
