Replacing oil cooler..flush system

I heard that once oil cooler goes out and oil is in coolant. the coolant system shoud be flushed and all hoses should be replaced because the oil swells the hoses....any thoughts
Thanks

Once it blows your really deep in the doodoo.

Replace oil cooler, put back together, flush system thoroughly and keep it straight water, tear back down and replace the oil cooler again and then replace all hoses and degas bottle in the coolant system and then put back together and add your coolant and replace oil

I disagree. Replace oil cooler and hoses and flush with dawn detergent till water is clear then add your coolant 50/50.

Only speaking from posts i've seen. You can flush a perfectly well operating system and still plug an oil cooler, right?
