I don't see where you have much of a choice. It's pretty much either the oil cooler or the oil line. If you can't see any obvious cause of the leak, you'll need to change out at least one to determine which it is. You've already got the hose, and if it's been in there awhile it probably is getting close to needing to be changed anyway, so you might want go that route. But be prepared to change out the oil cooler if it turns out to be that. If it were me, I'd probably change out the oil cooler first as it's just the two cooler hoses and two 10mm bolts - a lot easier than jacking up the engine and whatever to snake the cooler line in there. Well, that's not entirely true, because we already know what I did with mine and that is to convert to AN fittings and be done with it.
