I was under the truck today tightening belts and cleaning up grime when I noticed that (what I think are) the transmission cooling lines on the left hand side are pretty soaked. I initially thought oil since I'm always chasing leaks, but after reading I think it may be transmission fluid.
Am I understanding correctly what I'm looking at? I searched but didn't find much mention of these being replaced or needing to be snugged. Any thoughts?
1996 LX450, 248K miles, OEM radiator replaced new in 2018. No puddles under the truck and no noticeable issues with shifting. It does labor above 10,000' or so when climbing, but seems fine at altitude otherwise.
Oil pump cover gasket was replaced in 2017ish, dizzy gasket a few years prior, upper & lower oil pans resealed last year. It does appear to have a decent oil leak from the cooler that I'm getting ready to tackle but I don't think that would be related this fluid way down in front.
