Default sorry, I can't figure out, need help, coolant lines to oil filter housing and oil pan

Toy dealer parts guy says the parts I ID-ed above, and separate Toy numbers he ID-ed were oil lines that would be filled with oil NOT coolant. (ATM lines) The Toyota parts guy seemed very unknowledgeable and confused. He did not know what parts they were or what I needed anyway.

Toyota dealer does not carry these parts in NH. Robbins does not carry these lines but said they might be able to machine a hose that would withstand 250 F temp and 125 psi for $10 to $20 each depending on what I bring in.

I am totally perplexed. Either there is something north in the engine that is pouring coolant onto these lines making it look like one or both lines are leaking when somehow they are not (since allegedly they are full of oil not coolant), or everyone is confused about the part I need, or either one coolant line is spraying on both hoses or both are leaking and are in fact some mystery coolant lines that cannot be identified. They run parallel under the motor for a short run and that's where they are both soaked and dripping. Again, this is 100% coolant, my motor oil is normal and not leaking, my AT fluid level is perfect, not leaking and clear (red). This is green coolant, and I have a very substantial coolant leak with it pouring out of my poor overheated car all over the street. I am not with the car and trying to source out parts an hour from it to get it back home to do better diagnostics on it (it has two other problems unrelated - alt or batt is shot, and PS fluid leaks out to empty in 2 days leaving me with a groaning steering). ANY help at all would be certainly appreciated! I can answer any questions for clarification all day long and tonight too!
