Leaking tranny cooler lines

[greendog77]

Not sure if its a cooler line or what but under the front bumper, behind the air dam there are two lines, one of which is leaking tranny fluid. Haven't gone to see what a new line is worth, thought I'd see if its a DIY or not first. Looks pretty straight forward to replace but has anyone done this? Anything to watch out for?

Ok, so had a better look today, it is definitely one of the cooler lines. The rad end has some sort of plastic conector, not a nut, the other is held in place by a plate. How do I undo the plastic conector?

Is the plastic piece covering a nut or something? Is there a special tool for removing the lines?
