New Rig ~ First Trip Oil Leak
1500 miles on our new to us rig. In Gulf Shores Alabama I noticed an oil drip on the drivers side after visiting mom.
Checked the oil & she was down a quart took her to Walmart & threw my creeper under her & found what appears to be the source of the leak (pictured)
It appears to be coming from where the motor oil cooler lines bolt to the oil cooler up front.
I checked the bolt & she was plenty tight.
Went inside & bought 2 gallons of Synth & got her back to FL peeing out about 2+. quarts while checking every 100 miles.
My next step (guess) is that there are o-rings under the mounting boss & one took a dump?
or
The aluminum boss itself is cracked?
Q: Use only O-Rings or only Gasketed O-ring?
Oh& Thanks!

I don't think there are any "O" rings there.

Workhourse Oil Cooler Reinforced O Rings Leak
When I removed the connection, 2 o-rings pictured were present. Everything else appears in order. My local Napa matched them up. reassembled & ran her up to 2700+ rpm no leak. Bought 2 extra for the RV mobile parts box & am $7.17 cents poorer.
Thanks ~
