Oil cooling lines leaking at rubber section?

I just did an oil change and noticed oil around the rubber lines right above the vacuum pump and before they attach to the cooler. This time it seems like there is more oil with it coating the underside of the car.

My guess is the power steering fluid getting on the lines over the year right above it has degraded them and are causing small leaks in the rubber. Does this make sense? I have a small leak at the power steering box but all the fluid under the car seems to be oil and the power steering reservoir is not that low.


Anyone else have the oil lines start leaking at the rubber section? I sprayed everything clean with a hose and going to see where the oil is coming from but it seems to be the rubber hose right after the hard line coming from the filter housing.
