Leaking turbo cooler lines

I am experiencing leaking cooler lines at the turbo. I thought it was only the line coming from the side of the turbo, but it looks like it could be the one going into the top. Does anyone know if I can safely remove the line from the front of the engine without interfering with the other metal lines directly in front of it. Please see the pic. This is the front of the engine under the turbo.

Also, the fitting in the pictures is not leaking. Can I replace the metal line without replacing the threaded connector going into the engine or does it have to be replaced with the line?

I already have parts BC3Z-6A968-C and BC3Z-9U469-A for the line coming out of the side. Does anyone happen to have the part #s for the other line pictured?

Thanks for the help

Also, does Ford reccomend any sealant on the threads?

I see, the other line is an oil line. I also see there is an oring on the connector so no sealant required. Hopefully my leak will be cured soon!

I had to replace the coolant connection on my 2011 and about 2 months later my oil connector went bad. If you pull the turbo to work on one, I'd just do both.

I got the cooler line replaced. I noticed some minor seepage of oil around the other line, but I just left it for now because I couldn't tell if I would be able to remove the connection that I showed in my picture without trouble. Do you have to pull the turbo to remove that one? I was able to replace the cooler line by only removing the plastic intake. Thanks.
