Found a puddle of transmission fluid under the B2 this morning. Looked at it and found it to be from the transmission cooler line which is rubber. So my question is, do I need any special hose for this or standard automotive rubber hose fine for these?

Also, I assume as soon as I pull the line off the cooler its going to dump all the fluid out of the cooler. Anything special I need to do to replace the fluid, or just run the B2 for a bit after replacing the line and top off the fluid normally?
 
You need transmission cooler line. Any automotive store sells it.
Yes it will leak a bit but not much. Maybe half a pint. Just top it off and you will be fine

Also most if those leaks are the hose clamps. Make sure you buy quality clamps and in my opinion double them up.

There was plenty of hose and it was leaking where the old clamp was, cut off the bad end, and put new clamps on, all is well now.
 
Great. Glad it worked out
