Default Transmission cooler line Leaking!

have 2003 ram 1500 one if not both of the transmission cooler lines are leaking.
It looks like they are leaking at the plastic clip closest to the transmission
which is the best route to go buy OEM or make your own
does anybody have any experience with the plastic Product made by the SUR$R


thanks
JON

Are u sure the lines are not rotted out?? I had the same problem and the metal lines rusted out and caused them to leak. I had to go to the dealer and get 2 new coler lines to replace them. Cost about $175 for both of them.

The cheapest and easiest way would be to cut the ends off and take a piece of rubber hose and go over each end and use worm gears to hold im place. Ive done have before. Its not a high pressure line.
