Will oil leakage from the seal of a large vehicle affect the brakes?

Oil leakage from the seal of a large vehicle will affect the brakes. Oil seal leakage can cause engine oil burning: Oil seal leakage has significant impacts. If the valve stem seal leaks, it will cause rapid engine oil consumption, blue smoke from the exhaust pipe, and engine oil burning. If the engine oil seal is damaged, the cylinder's sealing will be compromised, leading to reduced cylinder pressure, which in turn decreases the vehicle's power. In severe cases, it may render the vehicle unusable. Oil seal leakage leads to increased carbon deposits: Reduced cylinder pressure and engine oil entering the combustion chamber will both increase carbon deposits, reduce engine power, significantly increase fuel consumption, damage related components, and notably degrade spark plug performance. The valve stem seal prevents engine oil from entering the exhaust pipe, avoiding oil loss, and prevents leakage of the air-fuel mixture and exhaust gases.
