Oil leaks o r engine overheating can indirectly contribute to starter motor failure. Oil leaks may drip onto electrical components, including the starter motor, leading to short circuits o r corrosion. Overheating can also strain the starter motor, especially if the engine components have become hot and the starter motor is used to crank a hot engine. Regular maintenance, such as addressing oil leaks and preventing overheating, can help avoid these issues.
