    Hi, I just bought a 1997 GTP and everything has been going good with it. I need help with one thing though. I seemed to have developed a sudden leak from under the front of my car. The fluid is very dark, and im not 100% sure if its ATF fluid or not. all signs are pointing to yes, but I need to know one thing. What are these lines? Are they the transmission cooler lines? in the middle of the picture, one of those lines seemed to have sprung a leak and they both look a little crusty I just want to make sure I buy the right part. its rubber hose that meets with steel line.

    Thank you, that was fast. I'm very new to the GP world, this is actually also my first GM, I'm traditionally a ford guy lol. I bought my GTP as a DD/Winter car since my Mustang is not so hot in the winter. :-)

    New lines are pretty cheap and not that hard to swap out, then just fill with some Merc/Dexron 3 for the fluid you lost.

    I actually ended up finding some at a local Advance Auto and swapped them out without issue. The only problem now is instead of leaking from the lines like I thought, it looks like the line attached to the radiator is corroded. I did a little research and it looks like the only way to get those lines is with a new radiator? Is that correct? I'm not too bummed out about replacing the transmission cooler lines since they were $17 each so its not like they were expensive or hard to replace.
