Oil Cooler Line Leak

My oil cooler lines appear to be weeping at the connections to the oil filter adapter. My plan is to replace the copper gaskets and hope for the best. Could I also use teflon tape on the connections? Any other suggestions?

John,

The oil lines are a type of flared tube fitting, and don't seal on the threads. Teflon tape will not work. You should be able to get them to seal if you tighten them up - as long as the mating parts aren't damaged.
