Is the actual line leaking or the radiator? Either way, one or the other needs to be replaced. There is no good "cheap" fix.
Either way it's a PITA. The radiator is around $200 from RM European and you can do it yourself, just need some coolant and distilled water, get 2 liters of trans fluid and the trans dipstick since you will loose a little of the fluid. 2-3 hours for the job.
Don't try any shortcuts with this stuff.

Also, if by any chance you are local to the DC area I'd be more than willing to help you with the replacement since I've done it already. If not, I can get you a list of step-by-step instructions if you want.
