Fitting Leaking In Radiator
So what is the hard line going into the back of the radiator, near the top: [maybe an oil cooler line?].
How do you remove or change the funky fitting? My coolant blows out around that fitting and I'm not smart enough to know how to fix it.

The hard lines going in and out of the radiator are transmission cooler lines. There is a separate compartment in the radiator where the tranny fluid flows through. The coolant and tranny fluid do not come in contact with one another. You are probably seeing reddish or brownish tranny fluid leaking from the fitting.
You should be able to tighten the fitting with a flare nut wrench. If not, a regular open end wrench will work. The first photo is a flare nut wrench and the second photo is an open end wrench. Most auto parts stores carry both types of wrenches.
