Return line leak...at Tranny

I noticed a leak about 2 months ago. So I replaced the return line that goes out all the time (the one that some guys take the hard line out and replace it with the the rubber line) and It still leaked. I started looking around and I noticed all of my bolts were lose on the trany pan. So I got a new dealer gasket and replaced it. It slowed it down but it still leaked. I found it was coming from the hard line that goes into the tranny. I tried to tighten it up and I broke the brass fitting, now its leaking every were. My question is What do I do now? Does the fitting that goes to tranny easy to get or do I need to get the whole line?

Well...... Ive used compression fittings to repair or install my T for the trans temp sensor . I think in my 93 they were 3/8, might wanna mic them to be sure. You can get them at any hardware store. I even used it to repair a metal brake like in my suburban once and had no problems.
