Replace it. Less worrys in the long run
Usually:
You can tighten the nut to the transmission cooler. As long as the tank hasn't cracked, I've tightened the cooler nuts on all makes. The rubber washer shrinks with all the heating and cooling cycles, and they have lasted quite a few years.
Don't overtighten, just snug it up a bit more, maybe an eighth of a turn, if a little more, OK. but anymore will crack the tank.
I hope this helps?
