ATF leaking from hose, 02 c32

I have an 02 c32 was driving home one day did a burnout and some pulls on the way. When I got home I noticed I was leaking a **** ton of something checked and it’s tranny fluid. Trying to isolate exactly what’s the issue. Could it be bad radiator? I know the valeos had an issue with then mixing coolant and atf. Checked and nothings mixed just all my fluid leaks out from one of the hoses or lines leading to tranny here’s a few pics.
Can’t find the hoses for them or what they’re called. Would a c230 work?

You are lucky it didn't blow out like mine did.


I had to tow the car home. Left a trail of atf and smoke on the road after I punched it off the line. Did a burnout at the light before.....guess I was feeling like going fast that day. Hose blew out in that same place.


Was your radiator replaced recently. Make sure that clip is put on properly. Tug on the hose see it'll come out by hand.

was it the lower house ? Or the actual lines leading to tranny ? Haven’t checked it out completely, for now just have the bumper off but I’ll tug on them and see if they’re loose or clip is off or loose as well. But to my knowledge no it hasn’t been replaced.

Lower hose blew off from the radiator. The clip that holds it in can be installed incorrectly if you are not careful. The design of it is awful. I cant believe they made it this way. It needs to be screw on.
