2011 l99 oil cooler leak

Is it common for the oil cooler lines to leak. I think my return line is leaking.

From my research it is pretty common. I have a 2010 L99 and mine is leaking too. I am just going to upgrade to an ADM trans cooler and replace the lines. It makes a good excuse to upgrade.

I think I'll do the same, I think its my trans cooler lines that are leaking. I'm going to put it on the lift tomorrow and see what's going on. It looks like I have a fine coating of oil on the bottom of my radiator as well. Hopefully it's nothing serious. Thank you for the response.

ADM cooler FTW. I actually upgraded the cooler with the larger B&M cooler. Stock kit is fine if you don't race...

My 10 SS L99 had a couple of leaks when new. This oil cooler line plus the engine
oil pan. Both very common on the early Camaros. Both repaired under warranty
so I got lucky.
