I have not seen/heard this being an common issue. You may want to do a search on this site to see if anything comes up.

What's much more likily is that your water pump impeller break due to age and end up blocking a water passages of the cylinder head which can lead to a cracked head and possible intermix of coolant and oil. Water pump replacement should be part of regular maintenance.

At the rate my Porsche water pumps fail, "regular maintenance" is right...
