Volvo Repair: Volvo 240 Transmission leak, sized holes, volvo 240


Question
Hello!  I have a 1991 Volvo 240 Sedan, with about 147000 miles on it.  It has been sitting for about 6 months, and now it seems to have a transmission fluid leak from one of the lines.  The car doesn't leak when it is off, but when the engine starts and the pressure builds up, two pin-prink sized holes shoot the tranny fluid out.  My question is, are there fitted lines that I can buy to replace the ones with holes, or do I have to have someone bend them for me, at the shop?  Thanks!!

Answer
Jen, there are 3 ways to do this. buy the lines from the dealer, have a trans shop make them, and the 3rd is the easiest fix.  Cut the lines and use compression fittings to repair the line.  This happens all the time and I would be they are leaking right where the clip holds the lines together.  Either suggestion is good but the 3rd is probably the least expensive.  Roger
