Oil leak at cooler line

We have a 2003 35U Adventurer. Noticed an oil puddle, and it seems to be coming from a small leak near where the lines run in to the radiator. It looks like (based on Winnebago Service Manuals) that it is a seal.
Has anyone replaced this animal, and is there something else that I should be doing at the same time?
Thanks ! All help is appreciated !
Rick

Well.... Yes and no. In a truck I mean, not a motorhome. That setup looks similar to the remote oil cooler lines on a 4.3 Vortec. On my truck, there was a metal washer in that area where your line is wet. Mine was up by the remote oil filter housing though. One bolt and off it came. Cleaned it up and back on the new one went.

Odd, usually its at the crimped area where it leaks. If this is the case, the old washer/gasket will be corroded a bit as its tin or something like it. You'll have to be careful to remove all of the old material. Hope this helps and I wish I had direct experience with what your talking about.

Edit.... I'm betting that the service recommendation would be to replace the lines. My experience is that the factory lines are better than what you can find aftermarket wise. I'd be tempted just to replace the gasket.
