Yes — especially after:

High engine bay vibrations from rough roads.

Improper installation tightened too much o r too little.

Thermal expansion and contraction.

Loose clamps at hose joints cause slow leaks, which are often missed during oil changes o r visual checks.

➡️ During each service, clamps should be inspected and retightened if needed.
