Transmission Leak - W123

83 W123.
First, how to fix. The transmission cooler line at the passenger side of the engine is leaking at the clamp that holds it in place on the oil pan. Best I can tell, a rock hit the clamp just right and there's a small hole in the transmission cooling line. I can see where the line connects up at the radiator end. Where is the other end of this line (can't get car up today, at mom's) ? Is it removable by normal humans? Can I do it on jack stands?
Second: The fluid level is about 1/2 inch below low with the transmission a little warm. I am hoping this means I didn't yet burnt it out. It has been flaring more than usual and I think this is the problem. I'll drop the pan and change the fluid (converter too) to synthetic when doing the job.
Third: Can I clamp a piece of rubber hose here to control the leak? What kind of hose can stand up to this? Is this a very high pressure line.
Thanks for any advice.
