What did you do in your shop today?

Usually, there's a grill in front of the radiator, but not like this

Serious question Brink, transmission cooler lines, the nipples supplied are pipe thread, used compound, can't seem to get them to seal. Any suggestions?
 
Were they oily when you used compound?
What compound?

It gets better, turns out they are not actually NPT, even though they look like it. Turns out there were supposed to be a pair of nylon washers. Nothing in the instructions, no notes about washers.

1.20 at the hardware store later and I think I've got it fixed.....

(Sigh) the T is for taper. I'm guessing it's BSPP

Now that I looked up BSPP you are most likeley correct although they looked like a slight taper which is why I thought NPT. Drove it 20 miles, no leaking. The nylon washers appear to have fixed it.
