I just went though this myself. My oil cooler lines had to be replaced. This is a crucial engine part! I would not fool around with this repair. I would get to the junk yard immediately and pull an oil cooler from a car that has no front end damage and get some new hoses at the dealer. The original hoses are COHLINE brand only! They used to be wrapped in a reinforced rubber, but I think now that COHLINE has discontinued the wrapping on new ones, but make sure they are COHLINE. There is a definite difference! IF YOU BLOW AN OIL COOLER LINE, YOU WILL LIKELY LOSE ALL YOUR OIL IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES WHILE RUNNING AND LOCK UP AN ENGINE!!!
