Would be glad if it's the hose.
Just searched, and found oil cooler coolant leakage seems quite often. Do you think it's only the hose or the oil cooler itself? If it's the hose, should I replace only the clamps or the hoses and clamps together?

It's those 99% of the time. Start with hoses and see if the leak returns, then you know
it's your oil cooler. My clamps gave up quite a fight for their removal, so unless they're damaged, I'd leave them be. Even if it was the oil cooler, you'd want to replace the hoses anyway.
Start with the hoses since they're cheap and go from there.
