That is a "push in" style line,the shank below the flair seats on an o-ring in the fitting, the flair is retained by steel or plastic fingers inside the fiting to hold it in place. The cooler fittings can be found at the dealer or some transmission parts supply houses, make sure you know the thread size into the case, there is more than one. And do not overtighten, the cases are easy to crack.

A TSB came out about this PUSH IN fitting and what is involved to REPLACE it wit ha screw on fitting because they have been known to come apart ...
