Transmission Cooling Line Leak

[94Gator]

Has anyone experience leaks in the transmission cooling lines? If so, any insight into what might have caused it? 2017 R has only 6500 miles. Tracked 3 days in past 2 months which could likely be the culprit, but wanted any added opinions. Like to know if it's something that is likely to happen regularly.

Nope, not a common issue. If you track your R, the oil pressure sensor does come loose. Make that part of your pre-track inspections.

My car had 10k miles on it when I got it. First track day, ended second session with a rooster tail of white smoke. Cracked transmission line. Replaced it and no problems since. Maybe rocks kicking up into the lines?

I would assume some defect in one of the oil line components or an assembly error as the cause.

When I had my engine oil cooler lines replaced under warranty at a local dealer, they leaked slightly the first time. I think the tech didn't get one of the fittings fully seated.

Good thought, Thanks! Lets hope it's a 1 and done issue!

Yes the next headache to worry about-whether the techs fix it properly without screwing something else up! Thanks.

2020 GT 350 transmission cooler line cracked at retainer area. 7,000 miles street driven only.
oiled the bottom of the car and exhaust.
This was the rear line at the trans connection.
