leaking Return line?

Had my car up on a lift at a shop having the starter replaced. While under there the mechanic showed me a transmission line was leaking on the passenger side on the bottom of the radiator. What line is this called? And is there an applicable part number. Also is it straightforward to replace or should I have the shop do it?

Also it was trans fluid leakiing and he went ahead and tightened the fitting

Might be the little O-Ring on the line or in the fitting on the radiator. Just replace it.

Okay The fitting looked new. Also the radiator is new. Guess I'll take it apart and put it on with a new fitting
