oil cooler leak?

i'm seeing a little bit of oil around the oil cooler bolt that is right next to the line. is their a gasket their or something that i have to change for it to stop leaking or can i just put some gasket maker around that ****. if its the oil line how much is it? also i bet everyone gets the feeling that they love their car more and more everytime they drive it, i did last night she acted pretty good to me she stayed nice and cool.

Sometimes the alum. housing cracks when bolt is over/improperly tightened. Sometimes people don't change the alum. crush washer w/ new when they install lines and it leaks. Sometimes the stock lines get crusty and crack (as mine did) and leak. Mazdatrix sells 2 stainless line kits. I bought the non AN kit and it works/ looks great, but the lines were JUST long enough-another inch would have been nice.
