Default oil cooler lines leaking on 03 STR.......

i am having a small leak noticable from the compression fitting, any idea on ease of replacement??? Also i called the dealer for parts, and i was told there are 2 parts. Inlet and Outlet. Should i do both at 1 time or just the one that is leaking? Also it is the one that is inbetween the alternator and radiator. Which one is that considered? Any help would be appreciated.

I would say this is something you can do yourself, assuming you are taking out old hoses and putting in new ones. You need to be very careful as you will have to crawl under the car to replace them, so don't take any risks - Jaguars are very heavy ! Car needs to be on strong ramps and not held on a jack. But you know this already, no doubt !
