Default transmisson line leaking

As you can see, I am still dealing with some issues with my truck but soon or later. I wont have any.lol I am having a weird issue where the transmission lines connect to the radiator. I am believing the lower line with the quick connect is loosing fluid that is sprayed over the radiator but when its running. I don't see it but yet you can see it on there. I just replaced the radiator and the connections are new. I have push on it and messed but there's not a whole lot that i can think to do to it. The line its self is only a year old so it pretty new. I am baffled about why or how to stop it. has anyone dealt with this deal and fix it?

Mine did the same thing. The new radiator came with a nipple fitting that you hose clamp onto... it was showing fluid around it. I just said to heck with it if it breaks it breaks and really wrenched the fitting into the radiator. It turned about an 8th of a turn and never leaked again.

There is no flow there with the trans in park. Set the e-brake (would that be the internet brake???) put the truck in neutral, and have another look.
