To get to all of the oil pan bolts you will have to remove the "K" brackets under the engine mounts. Don't worry, removing the "K" brackets won't cause the motor to drop out of the car. There's about 4 bolts that you just can't get to with them in place.
The oil cooler lines were just a bad design, sooner or later they will weep oil.
There was a thread here recently about them, if yours are original, I'd buy a set now.

Yep, Already replaced the oil cooler lines, twice actually. the first replacement lasted about 3K miles then made a big mess. Jerry was very quick to make it right and sent me another set. Apparently there was an issue with one of the crimps. I also have a new pan gasket set ready to go. My drips seem to be mostly right front.
Just did one of those nice epoxy paint jobs on the floor so need to stop those drips. At least it wipes up clean and easy.
