They are often part or wholly metal, and screw in the transmission and transmission cooler at either end. The transmission fluid starts in the transmission, where work performed generates heat.

Finding drops of oil under a vehicle can be unpleasant, mostly because identification of the leak can be a daunting task. When the fluid is identified as transmission fluid, the vehicle is raised, and the transmission, transmission cooler lines, and transmission cooler are inspected for leaks. If the transmission cooler lines are leaking, the leak will originate at the cooler, a connector, or a soft line. This will be very noticeable, especially if the transmission, transmission fluid lines, and transmission cooler are cleaned prior to inspection.
