you either need a new oil cooling line or the cooler itself. If your still under warranty the dealer will take care of it. If not you will need to buy the part and replace it. Its not that big of a job. I would clean that up and see if you can tell where the leak is coming from.

you might be able to put some sealant on the bolt to prevent it from leaking, at least temporarily to stop it from leaking

yeah why did you buy a new cooler?

it seems that you installed it wrong. (or its not secured)

put some high temp RTV around the bolt should do the trick, make sure its the one that has high oil resistant and support up to 600F
