Default Coolant leaking from behind engine

I just got my tranny replaced, and had no pre existing issues beforehand. Now my overflow hose is missing (not sure if that has anything to do with this), and there's a metal line right behind the oil pan, that has coolant dripping off of it. I refilled my coolant to right below the overflow, and it just drips out and temps get super high. I've tried squeezing the radiator hose and it's not very pressurized, anything anyone? I just need some tips and clues here honestly

Hi. I assume you had it replaced at a shop.?
If so, they should remedy situation. > Replace overflow hose and radiator cap.(factory)
Mine leaks there a little as well. I have not delved into it further as of yet.
It is a 'banjo' fitting so, should be able to replace crush washers and torque properly.
Best,Jeff

So, from what I've heard, this is the transfer case coolant line. They discontinued it, anyone got any idea if this is even fixable? There's 2 or 3 sliver cracks that rusted out on the line. There's no way to get any OEM line for this, they discontinued it so I need to find another way around this. Anyone got any tip or clue what to do?

Oooh.
Yep,that's the one.
Well, get a mini tube cutter and cut out a couple few inches.Find coolant type rubber hose and with bolts that fit in tight; cap it off both sides.....
Or: Pick a Part and get a replacement that's probably just as bad...
I'll have to inspect mine further as well as that system.
Best.

Ahhh damn. I was hoping it wasnt true.. Alrighg, do you think cutting it and putting rubber hose on there with some clamps would be the best choice here? I need my endeavor bad cus it's snowing bad where I'm at right now.
