those hoses are known to start leaking after that many years! It is possible, and pretty cheap ($40?), to remove the offending hose, take it to a shop that does hydraulic hoses, and put new hose on the old fittings. New hose from dealer is over $150 each. Another problem is that the cooler is aluminum, and the hose fitting is steel, and there can be lots of corrosion because of the exposed location down there. It can be difficult to loosen the female hose fitting without breaking something, so getting adequate clearance for the right size wrenches is essential. Bentley procedue is to remove headlamp/ sidelights to get access, but I have found it much easier to just remove the front bumper--- this gives complete access to everything down there.
