It is the filters in the kidneys which become 'leaky' causing protein to leak into the urine

My pure guess would be natural ageing ?

Nothing works with 100% efficiency, everything is subject to deterioration. If it lasts a lifetime, that's all one needs.

Your question is a bit vague - what info have you been given about the amount of protein (albumin) that is leaking?
There can be a zillion reasons for an increase in protein in the urine, some minor, some major (diabetes and nephrotic syndrome spring to mind).
I can't give you a fuller answer without more information
