I have a '49 3100 and the lines from the tranny cooler are leaking. I know, not exactly stock (TH350). There are hard lines coming from the tranny and flex hose coming from the cooler. Joining the two are some type of compression fittings, and the junction is near the motor mounts. The compression fittings are leaking. I've tried to tighten them up to no avail. Are these necessary? I would like to remove
