Default 86 Volvo 240 AW70 oil leak, Cooler line connection

Hey Just wondering if anyone can help me out here. My Volvo 240 has a leak where the cooler line meets the transmission. Its leaking a good amount and getting on the the exhaust pipe creating a ton of smoke. just wondering if where it connects has some type of bushing or gasket that might to be replaced..

Here's a pic where the leak is coming from. Thanks

Have you tried tightening that big nut? If it still leaks you may try JB Weld--no gasket.

Yeah, it's a flare fitting. New lines were still available from Volvo 2 years ago; not sure about now. Often snugging the fitting up is all that's needed...best to use a line wrench if you have one.
