This is an excellent idea and wouldn't be that hard to implement. Currently, there aren't "Coolant leak" or "Coolant Pressure Dropping" or "Oil leak" or
"Oil Pressure Dropping" messages in the HUD. Such information would be obvious to the pilot or flight engineer from the cockpit/engine gauges, more so than information such as "Cannon/machine gun jammed."
Ideally, there would be progressive messages similar to pilot hits - Oil/coolant leak > Severe oil/coolant leak > Engine failure imminent > Engine inoperable.
Admittedly, some of this info would be obvious, especially for single-engined planes. But, for multi-engined planes or jets, or planes with engines mounted behind the pilot, this info would be very helpful.
