2nd...I had the hose running from the oil cooler explode on me a few weeks ago...
age + rubber = FTMFL and a large trail of coolant over a mile long that could be seen for days after the fact...

Replace the gasket
While you are in there to replace the hoses and/or the clamps, you might as well replace the rubber gasket that is between the oil cooler and the upper oil pan. They get hard and can leak oil sometime. I had mine replaced at 220,000 miles while cleaning the dry leaked coolant and hose clamps. Did not replace the hose from the oil cooler to the metal coolant pipe.
