One thing is sure, they are not at all related to the transmission as another answerer has posted. Transmission lines run from the passenger side of the transmission case to one of the side tanks of the radiator. The bolt that is leaking is actually what pulls the lines to the power steering pump. If you were to pull it down, you would find either small o rings, or brass washers, depending on the design. Just replace those and tighten the bolt back up, and then fill and bleed your power steering system. You can do this by elevating the front wheels so that they hang freely, and then turn the steering wheel from stop to stop several times. Good Luck.3. Says: You answered your own question it is the oil cooler one line is transmission the other oil .Even if the screw is tight it has broken somewhere,make sure you keep checking your oil until you can get it fixed4. Says: ill do my best but that pic is not so great. if you were closer it would help. it looks like the lines that go to the power steering cooler, unless you are talking about the bolt behind the cross member and that would be the drain plug.
