not all cars have an oil cooler

if the lines are metal, and coming from the passenger side of the radiator, they are the cooling lines for the transmission, provided you have an automatic

The Optional factory oil cooler has 2 hardlines that go right under the front of the motor, like right under/behind the balancer, is that what you see on your car?
