Oil cooler sending line leak

My oil cooler sending line appears to be leaking near the block (underneath the intake manifold). Looks like it's been doing this for awhile with all the oil deposit I've found.
I just want to confirm if anyone here has had a similar issue and if so, any remedies? Would a thorough cleaning of the threads and some Lock-Tite do the trick or no?
I did a search and couldn't find anything. Suggestions?

I'm not sure which line is the sending line and which is the return line, but I have what appears to be one leaky stock line -- the one that bolts in straight up rather than the one that is perpendicular and right next to the oil filter.

Has anyone had either of these stock lines leak? I think mine has always leaked some, but it appears to be more of an issue now. If the line isn't too expensive, I think I need to replace it.

if it is these lines leaking? they sell gaskets for them at the dealer!! But they could just be a little loose!! check and see if they are coming out of the oil cooler, which is located on the passenger side of the car at the front bumper and is black with two lines coming out of the side of it!! if you cant fugure it out send me a pm and maybe i can send you some pics.

try tightening it a bit first and clean it. after a week check it if its still leaking then you could see better if its the line itself or just the gasket.
