Let me first start off by saying that am in no way an expert on cars, I just really don't have any money. My boyfriend and I have been fixing this car like crazy for the past year and hopefully this is the last major fix for a while. Anyway, I noticed some rough shifting a few months ago and upon some investigation I realized that the transmission fluid was low. It was leaking. I told my boyfriend and he got under my car to find a stripped transmission fluid pan bolt. It was leaking very very very slowly from this. We ended up having to replace the whole pan. I noticed it was doing it again this week. I took it to a family friend to be inspected today and he saw the leak. After about 4 seconds of him looking at the car he said it was the line from the radiator to the transmission. It was rusted and needed replaced. I could see where the line was leaking clearly. I'm really trying to avoid a mechanic bill at this point though. So to describe the situation, there are two lines next to each other that are rusted but only one is leaking at this point. I'm not 100% positive I'm calling it the correct name. I usually buy my parts on rockauto and they have all turned out very well for me. When I was looking for this part it didn't look right to me. The piece I'm looking at online is rubber and doesn't have the type of connectors the one on my car has. It's possible that I must buy those separately, I'm just somewhat confused. I suspect that it might be pulling up a part for a transmission cooler instead of the line to the radiator from the transmission. Here's the part I keep finding. They all look similar to this. http://www.autozone.com/drivetrain/transmission-cooler-line-assembly/dorman-transmission-cooler-line-assembly/749973_829022_0/ I was also wondering if anyone has done this repair before. My boyfriend and I have basically replaced everything on my exhaust system from the O2 sensor back without trouble. This seems like it might be rough though. Edit: I have a 2002 outback
