Im switching to air cooled oil cooler sometime next week for im afraid the coolant in my original oil cooler would leak and make their way into the gearbox. But i do want to compare the temperature on both settings. How?

It’s not impossible, but it’s not a good reason to re-engineer the system. First, you’re saying oil cooler, and gearbox… so do you mean trans cooler/gearbox, or oil cooler/crank case?
Either way, oil pressure and trans pressure are higher than coolant pressure. Coolant pressure is around 1bar (15psi), oil pressure is at least double that. That means that if you have a leak under pressure, you can really only leak oil into coolant, not the other way around. These issues are very apparent in the coolant, generally plenty of warning to address.
Oh i saw cases where coolant leak into gearbox. The oil turn pinkish slushie. By that time it was already too late.
