ATF leaking from line... WHAT PART IS IT? 300D

HI!
I patched it with JB Weld. But I'm pretty sure I ought to get a new one...
I'm driving a 1984 300D.

The tranny fluid line that is braced to the oil pan sprung a leak (dumped all over the Discount Tire parking lot!) What part is that? It is a metal line attached to the oil pan for support. The little bracket that holds it to the oil pan rubbed a hole in it and I thought my transmission had gone out! I don't even know how to find this part. OR any ideas for a sturdier cheap fix?

Also, did I overfill the ATF? UGH I never can tell. I added almost 6qts after as much as possible leaked out (couldn't get in gear at all, so I figured that was all of it).

This is my daily driver and I just need it to work like the beautiful beast that it is. (I'm a single mom of 4, and I'm in grad school.) I've been driving 300DT or 300TDTs since my first car 20 years ago --and consequently fixing them... yes I had a veggie machine back in my day.
