just re install the oil cooler lines and top off your oil since you must have lost some oil. new lines are expensive and not really worth the price. i have seen them for like 600$

You live and you learn~ :3 The Oil Cooler Lines from Corksport work great!

Why it's in German... I have no idea, probably a bug on their website, but I have these and their awesome.
You'll still need your large Banjo Bolts! Hope you didn't mess those up either...

A bolt with a pin hole through it to allow fluid to pass. Wikipedia it.
You sir messed up when you cut the lines. Never, ever cut or break something to remove it. You just never know if you will need it again, some one else might need it, or in your case... You wrecked the wrong item.

Skip the banjo bolts. You can probably fix this if you re-install the cooler and hook it up to the framis valve. The oil pressure will be reduced to the point that a couple of zip-ties will work. Not the preferred repair, but for you it will get you by so you can driving.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

You need to lay off the weed, judging by the 420 in your username.
Yes. That is indeed the oil cooler. The first clue should have been the OIL coming out when you disconnected the lines.
DO NOT START THE ENGINE WITH THESE LINES REMOVED!!!
Secondly, if you had A/C, cutting the lines is a VERY BAD IDEA... Freon will escape at a temperature of about -40 deg F (Yes, NEGATIVE 40) ad result in serious frostbite damage to your hands or whatever it sprays on.
