On my 96 impala the oil cooler lines leaked at the hose crimp next to the radiator...because this was not to bad of a leak I got two s/steel hose clamps of the proper size about 5/8in dia and with a 1/4 in ratchet tightened securely...that was in 1999...2008 this has still held..the metal is soft aluminum and does not maintain a good tight fit.
I have read where this crimp metal was removed and hose clamps also worked...but in my case just the added clamp support was all that was needed....
