[W126 Coupe] Small leaks.

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Ronny,

As it turns out there are no crush washers between and of the 
transmission cooler lines. These are a male metal ball to the female 
bolt fitting.  So, just try snugging the fittings using two wrenches.  
It's the hydraulic connection to the rubber hose if leaking at the 
fitting that will require you replace the hose.  I have both new hoses 
here that I can photo if you need to see how they are made up.
Regards,
Dick
