Vq35 oil cooler line rubber or metal replacement?

My i35 has a rubber hose connecting what looks to be two oil lines right under the oil pan. Its a short rubber hose connection with a slight drip. Ive noticed that the hose looks to be swelling up and want to replace it before it possibly ruptures, if anyone knows if there is sopposed to be a metal line or rubber line there. And part number.

It's a coolant line. Replace with a piece of coolant hose from the store. Bend the metal lines straighter, too. They always seem to be off from the factory.
