Oil Cooler Line Leak?

Guys, I need a grounded opinion here, I'm probably just being overly anxious but I saw a thread from like 2005 that suggested that streaks on the front rims and "brake dust" buildup to these levels could mean an oil cooler line leak.

I've attached pictures of my situation; this is after probably two hours of highway driving and then city driving.

Here's the reference thread in question too: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tro...er-line-58015/

Thanks so much guys.

Just look and see if your lines are leaking.

I'm leaving town in like 4 hours, but it's just a couple of plastic clips on the fender well to view the cooler lines, right?

Yep. just drop the under tray and liners. But I think if you had a real leak you would know it.
