Andrew,
Thanks for the tip. I think I dealt with all the worn rubber bits in the
tranny line clamps, when I replaced the tranny, though it's worth
another peek. I haven't cleaned the engine off to see new leaks, though
there's a lot of build up at the oil filter canister, so maybe one of
the oil cooler lines needs to be tightened or something.

I removed the pipe and silver soldered a copper sleeve over the split. I had to remove the engine shockers bracket to wiggle the transmission cooling pipe out. I made up new clips and bushed them with strips of 2mm insertion rubber.
