We run a 904 with an inline tranny cooler that mounts on the top of tranny brace. The turns and multiple fittings to bend around all of the corners did leave us with the need to check periodically, or put up with small leaks.

We check regularly, and ocassionally need to tighten one or two fittings.

But honestly, I am not sure you wouldn't have the same issues running lines to the front. The tranny takes a lot of hard abuse on your typical launch so any fitting is bound to loosen in time, and you really need to "nut and bolt" the entire car after every few runs, or you risk problems. So the checking for leaks is not that big a deal.
