You know you can't see crap on those pics, right? What part do you need actually? The big hose? Or the gaskets for the oil cooler?

PS it's IMPOSSIBLE this is not on realoem.com, you just haven't looked in the right place.

It looks like coolant is leaking at the connection to the oil cooler (aka heat exchanger).

Ok so you had to replace a coolant hose. Good choice if you replaced them all at once. These are common maintenance items.
