I have a 91 900 5 speed also. The head gasket on the engine was leaking oil from the front. It cost $580 to replace. I used one of the recommended mechanics listed on this web site's "Mechanics List". You might want to call one of them if your mechanic quoted $1000. You might get a very good job done for a lot less.
You should get it fixed ASAP, especially if it is leaking coolant. You can let oil leaks go for a while, but coolant leaks require a repair ASAP because coolant does a lot of damage to internal engine parts. Ask my brother-in-law... I sold him an '82 900T in perfect condition. A year later, a head gasket leak started. He ignored it. Within a week, the engine was toast.
