Will driving with the handbrake on cause engine oil leakage?

[DeEmery]

Driving with the handbrake on will not cause engine oil leakage, but it will increase fuel consumption. Hazards of driving with the handbrake engaged: Driving with the handbrake engaged for a long time can cause the brake caliper to seize, brake fluid leakage, and an increase in brake fluid temperature, which may lead to a complete loss of braking function, premature wear of brake components, and other issues. Long-term driving with the handbrake engaged may require handbrake replacement: Drivers should always remember to release the handbrake when driving. Additionally, if the vehicle has been driven with the handbrake engaged for a considerable distance, it is advisable to have the brake pads inspected at an after-sales service center to assess the extent of damage. Replacement should be done promptly for safety reasons. Prolonged driving with the handbrake engaged can cause the steel cables to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel distance will also increase.
