Happened back in the day to Mrs. Jessica's ('86 red) 900T. Didn't seem to leak much, if at all, until I (stupidly) switched from Castrol GTX (installed by the seller) to Rotella 5W40 (it's what I had a lot of). Around 180K, with a questionable history. No doubt the new oil dissolved the crud holding the oil on the "wet" side of the oil pump seal.
In your case, I doubt that you did such a thing. Probably an aging O-ring let loose somewhere. Or perhaps the PCV plugged itself-high crankcase pressure could convert a weep into a gush...
