A light amount of RTV on the threads might do it.

- Are you sure it is coming from the interface with the flare? Could the tube be cracked?
- What is the condition of the flare on the tube and the mating surface in the trans?

It all looked good when I put it together. I really dont want to drain it to pull the tube. But im sure it needs to happen.

Gotcha, have a rubber bung handy and jam it in there when you pull the tube. I'm with Digger, I bet the lip is deformed or has a small nick in it.
