2001 L
I have a pinhole leak squirting fluid all over the place. I believe it is the transmission cooler line. It is occurring right where to rubber hose clamps to the hardline. Could anyone confirm this is the cooler line, and could I be able to snip off the end with the puncture and re-clamp to the hardline?

@Mykinsa Welcome to the forum!

That looks like an ATF cooler line to me. I would not just snip the end but would rather purchase a new hose. I am sure the whole hose is probably needing to be replaced if its leaking in one spot.

Why is it leaking?

Older hoses tend to lose their resilience so simply clipping off the end may not work for you. Bulk transmission cooler hose is available for sale at parts stores. NAPA carries versions made by Gates, I believe.
