So i have had a coolant leak and i got around to finding it. I can fix it problem is i don't know what i need to buy. Or what it would be called mostly. So on the driver side on the bottom of the radiator there is a fitting. It is leaking from this fitting that is begining to rust. i can replace the line and fitting but i cannot figure out what it is called so i know what to buy. Any help appriciated.

No there is some sort of hard line coming out of it. I suppose I could make my own outta brake line if I could find the fitting.

The hard lines coming from your radiator are for the internal tranny cooler within your radiator! If coolant is leaking around that area, then the plastic side cap of your radiator is cracked and you need to replace the radiator!

This should have been in the first post. I had no idea what you were talking about.
