Hose "Bumps" are used to help prevent a hose from blowing off a joint when whatever clamps get a tiny bit loose. Does Nothing for sealing.
These tubes don't see enough pressure for this unlike Coolant system and High Side of fuel lines that can blow off a hose.
Make sure trans hard line have support and isn't hanging down so road crap can pull the splice apart or worse.

I brought it to the garage today since there's no way I can do this repair myself. They found the leak and it's precisely in a corner so they can't use a rubber line and will try to repair it with a copper pipe. Costs? € 325... 😭😭😭
I so wish I had a garage...

I'd happily pay somebody to do that job, but no mechanics back home will even touch a Fiero.
