Default Transmission hose leak?

My 94 LS400 is leaking transmission fluid, not from the pan or the rear main seal though. Its coming from a few small hoses on the passenger side of the transmission. The transmission is new but whoever did the work did a hack job with trying to fit in bigger hoses. Anyone have a part number for these?

I'm sure you could go to the dealer and they can definitely pull it up for you. Those lines shouldn't be hard to replaced but it could be a messy job.

I may have to do that. I have a guy who will put new lines in for $80-100 along with the transmission service (new filter and fluid). It really isn't the lines that are damaged, but the clamps the shop put on (the clamps that tighten by a flathead screw).

And i meant to say "shouldn't". Yes, those worm clamps are not supposed to be used all time as they can cut into the hoses. This has happened a few times on my supra when the PO have used those clams and I would find a vac leak because it cuts through the hoses. Good luck!
