the oil cooler line runs under the engine from the drivers side remote filter and under the engine by the drivers side motor mount. which would make it hard for oil to reach the passenger side mounted starter. and the internal cooler line is also on the drivers side of the rad. although these compression fittings do spray more then leak under driving conditions, so u never know. but chances are its not the oil lines. now if those lines are in fact leaking then u should change them, they are actually quite important as far as pressure and flow to/from filter. once again that area of the valve cover is hard to see. being that the cost of a gasket is fairly cheap and easy, then u should just due them anyway. plus check the torque on the starters bolts, sometimes oil will lubricate the bolts loose.
