I have a small oil leak, i believe it's the oil cooler lines.

Some pics -- it obviously only leaks when the engine is pushed where the oil is hot enough to go through the oil cooler.

It's not a FAST leak but it's very noticeable, especially becuase of the oil spots where I park the car.

I couldn't find new hoses on bavauto or pelican parts - is this something I have to buy from the dealer or what? It's not a leak I want to let go, becuase leaks only get bigger, and I do not want to have oil pressure problems.

By the way, I went to the dealer and found out the part i need, it costs $100, so I think I'll be looking for a junkyard or someone who is parting out their car.
