Default a couple of problems.

I am leaking transmission fluid from the connector on the line that goes to the radiator. The connection is tight, but the tube wiggles inside the connector. Is there some sort of o-ring in there that can be switched out? or what is the best way to fix this leak?


There is a high pitched whine coming from what looks like a fuel regulator on the rail. Its the one towards the back of the car. This whine goes away when the car is accelerating, but comes back when it is idling. Could this problem be linked to a bad fuel pump?

pull the vacuum hose on the regulator and see if theres fuel or if you smell fuel(might have a ruptured diaphragm


theres no o-ring maybe you have something stuck in there(trash etc)

It is a fuel dampner then can go bad.

As for the trans line, you are probably just better off replacing the entire thing then trying to reflare the end.

you wont see the flare from the outside it will be inside the fitting. It is kinda like a brake line. Unless it is something different.
