Subframe mounts 1988-560SL

Just received the subframe mount replacement kit. As I am doing a pre-job review of the instructions and looking under the car with front wheels removed - I am concerned with the transmission cooling lines attached to the radiator. Should I detach these lines prior to lowering the subframe??? Looks like they may get hung up if I don't. Has anyone experienced this when doing this job? (The transmission lines are not mentioned in the instruction book) I am looking forward to doing this job myself and hope to get all my ducks in a row prior turning the wrenches.

W107 500SL Phantom Low Oil Warning

My 88 500SL has recently started giving a Low Oil Level warning, usually after 20 minutes of motorway driving, but when checking the oil level, it's perfect! The oil and filter are less than 500 miles old, so my question is could there be a blockage in the oilways somewhere causing the sump to run dry. Has anybody else had this problem? Many thanks.
