I believe b/c of age. The rubber hoses get brittle over time and then leak. This is especially true where the hoses meet the metal ends that screw into the cooler or oil housing. When I had my '83 900T, I needed to replace both lines when I purchased it. From what I remember, the lines on the housing were very easy to remove, but the other end on the cooler was very difficult to break loose. Toke them off, and then to a mechine shop and had new lines put on. I have never heard of the oil cooler leaking. I guess it could if in an accident and cracked or rusted/corroded VERY bad.
