If these are engine oil cooler lines, you just buy replacement lines. If they are trans cooler lines......... You just need to cut off the rubber section and replace that section with new crimped collars ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Please make all your replies to your original question. No, you do not want to use clamp engine oil hoses. You could easily lose a motor that way. These are a common failure and they just have to be replaced. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
