Get some braided hose, a few -6an fittings and you are good to go. Enzed can be quite helpful, I believe TUFFVQ used these guys when replacing his trans cooler lines and I know I intend on doing the same in the next week or two.

Cheaper than having to tow your car home because it's ####ed it's tranny fluid all over the freeway (trust me on this one). Sure a dodgy fix might last a day, a week, a year or even a few years but when if fails it will be costly; transmission hoses are high pressure lines, not something you should be patching with silicon.

True, but i wasn't suggesting a dodgy fix. Buying new lines (the right ones) would be a cheaper fix than braid & screw on fittings.

Also, IMO, transmission lines should always be steel, just with flexible line at the trans cooler end.

Ok, So Since i gave the silicon a go, I have now confirmed the Leak is where it plugs onto the metal Pipes @ the PS Pump, They are the Quick release push type connectors. Now do these usually have a O ring that i could try & replace ? so the hoses are fine, its just leaking at the connection.
