1998 S70 Lower transmission line leaking after seal R&R

Post by darrinm503 »

My daughters 1998 S70 had a leak on the lower transmission line coming off the radiator. I replaced the seals with IPDs transmission line kit but the leak persists and it leaks at a greater rate. Should I replace the hose, the radiator, or both? Could I plug the ports for the transmission cooler and just delete it?
