I have a 1992 chevy corsica 2.2 4 cylinder Its leaking anti freeze from a line that goes to the transmission, its not bad, just a drip here and there, my question is this, will this be costly and hard to fix the line?

No not at all. What your seeing is actually automatic transmission fluid. Its either going to your radiator cooler in the the radiator itself or going back to the trans. Get it fixed or some day you may loose all your transmission fluid and the car will not move foreword or backward. As a test, put a tiny drop of the leaking fluid on your tongue. If it tastes sweet it's antifreeze. If its oil it'll taste like vegetable oil. Good luck.

No it won't cost an arm & a leg. You'll need to go to an auto parts store as it is a high pressure line and you'll also want to purchase two new screw clamps. It's a fairly easy job, but you'll need to get under the front of the car to join the bottom of the line intop the tranny. A good rule of thumb so that the metal clamps don't cut into the hose is to first wrap a layer or 2 of electrical tape around the house where you'll be placing the clamps so that the metal doesn't cut into the rubber hose, the second is don't REEF on the screwdriver when you tighten the clamps. You should not be able to turn the clamps with your bare hands after tightening, but the clamps shouldn't look like they are compressing the hose past it's normal diameter.

Ugh...the position to commence? The Corsica is between the worst automobiles EVER made by potential of GM, (close on the heels of the Vega and citation). They were an engineering nightmare and performance always been plagued with issues like yours. try pulling the vent demonstrate off and be conscious in case you are able to attain in and sparkling out the vent properly. feels like it would want to be clogged with filth and causing water to overflow into the clean air intake. playstation - to envision for leaks you should positioned a tremendous variety of water on your automobile. Use a pair of friends and 2 water hoses even as you lie on your again with a flash mild below the sprint. sturdy success...

it should be rather simple to fix, first i would try tightening the fitting on the radiator this happened to me it was leaking from the fitting and traveling down the line and dripping from a low point. if this is not the case inspect the line for any damage replacement is fairly simple but i cant say that a shop wont rob you

if its anti freeze and its running down that line it means its leaking from around the fitting that goes in to the radiator,and it could be a problem if you don't have it repaired,it may get worse ,so id have it checked at least to see if its going to be a bigger problem,good luck,i hope this help,s.

That must be tranny fluid leaking, it will be costly if you don't get it fixed. Check tranny fluid and no if it's just the line it won't be expensive.
