2016 ace transmission line leak

[cgeace29.3]

I noticed while changing my engine oil a small drip coming from a metal fitting that I believe is the line that goes to the transmission cooler radiator in front of the engine radiator. The fluid dripping is red. Has anyone had this issue and how did you fix. Thanks

It's 29* and snowing in NW Indiana so I have no intention of climbing under my ACE to look at the trans cooler lines for a comparison, but in your photo that looks like some kind of a fitting. If it is a fitting, perhaps two pairs of channel locks or vise grips and 1/2 turn might stop the drip.

Yes, I had this on my 2016 Miramar. I had to replace the line which cost about $150. You have to buy a special Ford tool used to separate the connections, not expensive at all for the tool. It is not a hard job at all, but annoying that this has happened. I’ve spoke with other folks about this, and some of them had to have this repair done.
