I did a 95 9000 V6 not long ago. I suspected the oil cooler and it was. By plugging one port and and fill the cooler with oil and leak dye and put pressure on the other port I could see that the leak was in the core of cooler.
But I also suggested that the head gaskets could be bad with that mileage and luckily he agreed to do those too.
When I got the heads off the engine, the gasket were corroded to pieces and wouldn't have lasted long.
The bill ended at around $2600.00 but that was with a radiator and expansion tank too.
I would strongly suggest to replace all cooling hoses if they are original. The rubber don't like oil at all and you may end up with hoses that pops one after the other.
