Good luck
It appears you are talking the ZR-1 Oil Cooler Lines (SS shown). That be ZR-1 Technical Postings

Make sure the fittings are tight as z proud suggests



What I do on oil pan gasket, water pump gasket or any gasket in contact with oil or water (including "O" ring mating surfaces) is use a light coat of Permatex.....NO LEAKS after that

I coat each side of gaskets very lightly with Permatex and let it get tacky....then just place the gasket on any surface and it sits there without holding or moving as I insert bolts into the components.

Now when you go to remove those "Permatexed Gaskets", it is no fun but then I rarely have to remove those gaskets.

NO...do NOT use Permatex on Head Gaskets
