Gonna try some thread tape and maybe high temp, oil rated silicone.
Weird, your the third person I seen with that issue, besides myself when changing the radiator. Those radiators are plastic and can be very sensitive, its possible that the new one was damaged cracked around the transmission cooler fitting. In my case, it just wasn't in well enough, I would just take your time and be patient when hooking up that line.

all 4 fittings are leaking.

update: checked all o-rings and added some thread tape to all four fittings, looks good so far.
