If leaking from the union to gearbox oil cooler, most likely the seal is fubar.  From memory, its a copper washer type, 2 per union.

Nice easy fix :y

Just top the cooler up with dexron 3 atf, fit the seals and bolt it back together :y

All sorted it was just the missing o-ring I presume this went missing when the new rad was fitted before I bought the car.
ordered a couple of 94p o rings from autovaux but as I was in town today I thought I would see if I could get some of the shelf mixed o-rings cheapest I could find was £8.00 which seems a waste as the rest will get chucked out after sitting in the garage for years Halfords however do a small pack of about 10 for £1 which were perfect.
