Porsche got real serious about cooling (coolant and oil) when the 9A1 generation motors came out in the 997.2 and 987.2 cars.

Cause the 996's Turbo and GT3 motors kept blowing off cooling hoses, getting them banned on track unless the hoses were welded or pinned. Had a friend of mine happen to him. The "metzger" engine if I'm not mistaken.
