    Is there anyone who can help me with this issue? 2 weeks ago I had an antifreeze leak and it came out to be the oil cooler pipe on the right had bent and punctured one of the hoses.

    I went purchased the hoses and cooler(very expensive). Removed old one and replaced with new. No antifreeze leak but now and oil leak what gives I tightened everything?

    That is a massive leak. Do not run your motor any further!

    I'm having a hard time with the video, but you should be able to trace where it goes back to with the engine off. Follow the trail back up and take a pic of that area.

    So the leak is coming from the oil cooler that's the only place....before replacing the old one there were no leaks.

    just a word of advice, always replace the gasket, even if the old one looks fine. Cheap insurance, and means you won't have do do the labor twice.

    Yea I'm def a noob I really was more concerned about the antifreeze leak which got fixed and I saw this I'm completely forgot about gasket portion....so a new gasket should hopefully stop this?

    Yes sir, go back and replace that gasket. After doing that you are not finished. I would be concerned that because of that oil leak you may have gotten engine oil in the cooling system and/ or coolant in your engine oil. So check your fluids afterwards.
