Thanks Jim, my oil cooler lines are aftermarket braided steel lines, the OEM pieces were leaking but already replaced.

It appears that there's a leak from the oil temperature sender, which I had resealed with teflon tape a few months back - and apparently that's not the correct method. The FSM calls for Loctite 565 on these fittings, so I've ordered some of that and will also re-seal the oil cooler fittings with this correct material. The teflon tape does not appear to hold up well to hot oil.
