Default Oil cooler lines.

Hi, I just found that my oil cooler lines are leaking. How easy is this job to do? Is there a step by step how to, to replace these lines? Anybody have any advice? I tried searching, but couldn't find and real how-to's.
Or would I just be better off taking it to a mechanic to do?
Thanks in advance.

pretty easy to do. just pop them off. pita to get the clips that hold them into the radiator.

with a pair of long nose plyers (if held by pinch clips) its not too bad. But you need to check to make sure its the oil cooler (attached to radiator engine side, other side of radiator if aftermarket) or the oil filter lines (this is the filter relocation setup).

also posting some Vehical info would help too, this is why most put their Vehical in their sig so people know which it is.

Good luck and happy BLAZIN

Holy cow, I can't believe I forgot to put my vehicle info lol.
It's a 1996 4x42 dr. non-sport model.
I know it's leaking from the back of the engine, kind of by the transmission.
There is no tranny cooler(that I know of), and non-towing package.

Check your valve covers (rear) for traces of oil, check around the distributor for the same, then remove the inspection plate for the trany and look up in there. See if there is oil from the back of the motor (would mean rear main seal). Also look around the oil filter (sometimes these will not seat right if the wrong filter or fram filter is used, or then again someone might had loosened it on you)
