Don't tighten clamps on plastic while the plastic is still cold. The plastic in my experience can shatter...

Thanks. I'll give it a try. One side (driver's) is leaking much more than the other. It's not losing enough ATF to the point where I'd worry about being low on fluid ... but enough to worry in general. My dad is trying to convince me not to go out and tinker with the car today on account of the weather ... I just hate it when something needs fixing and it just has to sit there. DIY Disease.
Now I'm worried the coolant is coming from the water pump. I need to stop worrying so much. Whatever's wrong, I can fix it. Eventually.
