I just looked at my lt5 service manual on how those lines ran and it looks like if they're leaking at the oil cooler it's going to drip down onto the coolant lines.

The most common point of leakage on the OEM hoses is at the connection ends where the metal contacts the rubber hoses.

Any recommendations on where I can get some good OE hoses and clamps without having to go to a dealer and does anyone know if there's a parts/service manual I can download for this car?

Make sure you have the right wrenches handy as those fitings are over an inch in size. if I remember correctly 1-1/8 and 1-1/4 are needed. Those sizes are not in everybodies tool box. I suggest the steel braided replacement option.

Put new oil cooler lines on. While it was apart replaced the lower radiator hose it was really spongy and seeping. Got everything back together no more leaks. The car runs great. The service ride control light went off on its own but now my change engine oil light is on. Is there an easy way to turn that off?
