I have hose leak from the line that goes into the oil filter housing. I’m assuming this is the engine oil cooler hose. I am going to replace it but I know once I take that off hose off, it’s going to start pouring out. Am I ok to retake off the hose, let it drain, install the new hose, and fill her back in through the coolant reservoir? Or do I fill her up through the actual radiator?

Fill the radiator, I prefer a vacuum fill system.

Now you got me worried with reading about the vacuum fill system. I’ll just schedule a flush and have them replace the damaged hose as well.
