There are new aftermarket elbows being made of stainless steel. Not that it matters but these are not OEM. Look around and you may find a polished one. Dress up the engine room a bit. I see them on ebay all the time. You can get the whole mixing elbow, nipple, and exhaust "riser" as one package in SS.
I think the "oil cooler" might actually be an freshwater cooler. This is where the seawater passes through in order to remove the heat in the engine coolant. Rust could be the sign of an o-ring leaking. Its not hard to further diagnose except that you'll probably need to drain the engine coolant and the seawater coolant.
