Oil leak advice please

[RPE11Y]

I have a little pool of oil under the car in the garage.
I think I have traced it to the pipe connections showing in the attached pic.
Can someone advise me what this is and best way to fix it?
Is it just a straight replacement - should I do both a the time?
Thanks for any help.

Can't see clearly in the pic, but if there's two much fatter pipes entering/exiting that thst metal cylinder, then it's the oil cooler thst connects to the water systems after the water has exited the radiator.

Might need new pipes, might just need tightening up ??

Looks like the oil feed pipes that go into the oil cooler. Try tightning them up, but might need replacing, You can get them from TVR Power the part number are on the hoses. Not a lot of room in there to get at the heads for tightning them though.

Thanks for the tips guys - but after a more detailed inspection I have discovered the leak was coming from a failed weld on the oil tank!
Anyhow, tank now out and off for repair so my next question is what is the best procedure for refilling with oil?
I only drained the tank, so how much might it take (never measured what i drained!) - and is there anything I need to do to prime anything for the first start?
Cheers again for any advice...

You could post the answers to your questions so that the next person with the same problem can get the answer from a search...

OK it took a whole 5 litre refill of oil and no special priming required (apparently)
Running fine and can park it on the drive again!
