Trans Line Fitting LEAK

SOLVED
old stuff below

------------

Why the eff can't I get this effing flare to seal?!

The top trans line fitting that goes into the radiator. It leaks between the flare causing it to spill out through the threads and between the fitting and the tube. I keep removing and reinstalling it and it just drips out fluid no matter what.

This is what we supposedly fixed when I did the first drive. All he did was remove and reseat the tube and tightened the fitting. Apparently that didn't work longer than 5 minutes. I tried to re-seat it 3 times in the Meijer parking lot after buying food and no matter what it keeps leaking. I had to hope I would make it back to the apartment before too much fluid leaked out. Is there supposed to be a washer or something or is it just flare to flare?

eff

Maybe have to use an aftermarket cooler or something but I shouldn't effing have to on a brand new radiator and brand new ACDelco trans lines!
