Tiptronic leak
Hey all,
I have an odd question that many will know nothing about.
I developed a leak at the ATF return line on the trans side. It is coming from the o-ring. I replaced the o-ring several times (with ones I had around) but the leak would get worse with anything other then the original.
I gave in and ordered new ones from the father land and the leak is still there (same as the original). Right now I have the correct one in as well as a second on the nut side of the flare, it has slowed big time but still leaking. Anyone have any ideas, could this be an issue with the trans line(I can't see any holes)?
I was looking at all the posts in all the forums for any one with this sort of thing and found none.

Is there supposed to be an O-ring on either side of the nut?
You could add some UV leak detector, that may show where the leak originates more clearly.

Thanks Smokie for the reply. There is only supposd to be one o-ring on the the trans side (see link part #15)
NO need for a trace; the fluid comes right out of the hole where the tube pass' into the nut.
