Reminds me of my leaky coolant line on the van

then it leaked a couple inches from the splice.
Finally ripped out the entire 30 plus inch length
of rotted line, and be done with it.

Just be aware that transmission or oil cooler hose is NOT fuel line
despite outward appearance. Had a beat up old Dodge Dart once that ran
like a top but it lost a transmission and caught on fire because a
previous owner spliced the hard line with fuel line... it ran right by
the exhaust manifold/downpipe... whoops...

Also, when doing DIY splices of this nature, when clamping a line to a
hard line that doesn't have a hose barb on it, I put a little "bubble"
on the end with my double flaring tool to hold the line better, also
always use the high pressure "fuel injection" style hose clamps not worm
drive clamps...
