N54 engine. Aftermarket cooler retrofit done 2000 miles ago.

For the lines from the OFH to the cooler, those are new and don't appear to be leaking.

As best I can tell there are two lines from the bottom of the engine that are leaking (if those are even oil lines) or it's the front crankshaft seal.

I tried to point to them on a picture.
Those lines are AT cooler lines, they are connected to the AT cooler that's screwed into the fan shroud.

Not cheap. You will need a special key tool, in order to get them off.

There's two more hydraulic lines over to the very right of the engine bay. The are PS steering cooler lines.

Does it smell like AT fluid? AT fluid is red & it has a distinct smell.

The only other hydraulic lines you might have are if you have an oil cooler, but those are primarily on top and make there way behind the passenger side wheel well cover.
Hi, thanks. It's definitely oil so it must be splashing into those lines.
