it's a flared line, should be no way it leaks if you have a good flare and tighten the nut. check the flare on the nut and the trans fitting.

I've been there

I've been there. After a radiator replacement on a 82 z28 indy 500, I managed to strip out the threads on one of the lines. I ended up getting new lines from a junkyard. It really is a pain, Unless you have them in exactly straight it'll seem to be tight, but you can get a drip (or in my case, Noah's Flood of tranny fluid).
Make sure you use the flare wrench, it helps
