Job done. Not for the weekend mechanic or one with large forearms and hands. Not much clearance. Parts were about $60 including extra o rings, clamps and the two specific collars that hold the pipe in place. Took me several hours to get the old parts apart and out.
Picture is of old pipe with a broken t-union going down to cool the transmission. Also a side union is broken off on purpose. I did access everything from the top. Part number for union 079-121-071-BS. Next time I’ll pay the mechanic to do the job!
Rally- Could you send me a PM if you're still active on the boards? I'm about to tackle this but have large hands and forearms o.O Want to get some pointers on how you did this. You mentioned pulling the left side. Do you mean the passenger side where the connector bolts into the cylinder head?

I see you hopefully solved the problem with help from a shop.
