Engine Cooling problem
1996 Chevy Tahoe V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have an Antifreeze leak and its coming from my oil cooling lines. There is no oil in the radiator and no antifreeze in the oil so if I change the line that’s it right? Or does that mean that something else is messed up?

No. The oil cooler inside of your radiator has failed. You need a new radiator. Coolant does not leak out of your oil cooler lines. If it does then oil has gotten into your radiator and coolant has gotten into your engine..You must change the oil -- coolant -- and the radiator.
