Guys: if my car has the oil cooler, is there a gasket that needs to be replaced for that at the oil housing?

The vanos solenoids have an O ring and a seal on them that keeps oil in the engine. These can begin to leak over time. If your solenoids are working you can just change the seals.
1 set per solenoid:

The oil cooler has 2 O rings, one on each hose connection where it goes into the cooler housing. The cooler housing has a gasket where it is bolted to the filter housing.
