904 Leaking. What to check first?

Bad plan. Just guessing and trying to get lucky? Some people aren't patient when trying to pin down leaks. So they start replacing stuff and end up taking it to a shop because they get frustrated. I had a guy tell me his transmission was leaking and sent me a pic of a puddle under his truck. Haha. Real helpful. It was a loose line that he didn't get tightened up all the way when he installed it. Another one was a torn dip stick tube o-ring. Everybody wants to yank off the pan and plaster it with silicone...but pans are extremely difficult to learn how to straighten and tighten properly; providing you use the right gasket. Most pans leak if they're installed by beginners.
I agree with starting with the small obvious stuff. That transmission line with the hose and clamps is just asking for trouble. You should buy or make a new metal line with proper connections on both ends. Maybe replace the o ring on the neutral safety when you are fixing the line as it's small money and effort. Once you fix that, wipe down/clean everything else and then look for other leaks.
