Transmission fluid leak
Hello, I have a 2003 CLK500 with about 160,000 miles.
Fluid is leaking from the transmission cooler line where it connects to the radiator. it's the upper connection on the passenger side. While I was driving on the highway the line itself actually completely shot out of the connection and dumped fluid everywhere (the sleeve and U clip were still in place the line just shot out). I got a new O ring and put it on, while i was measuring the trans fluid level with an aftermarket dip stick it shot out again. Ive put it in again and made sure the line was fully seated. Now it is just leaking from there.
