Automatic trans cooler @ engine questions

Guys,


I'm leaking some trans fluid down the rear line. Is there an exploded view of this heat exchanger somewhere? Do those fittings come out and have o-rings behind them??
Going to be in there tomorrow changing fluid/filter- would be a good time to address the small leak if possible.

Thanks,

Michael

Not the pipe to cooler, but the cooler itself.

The flare adapters are pipe threaded into the cooler.
