In general yes. Even a water leak can cause an electrical short circuit that can ignite a fire and a gas leak is certainly dangerous.

Why can oil leaks cause a engine to heat seize?

Oil leaks will not cause an engine to heat or to seize. A lack of oil will cause it to get hot and seize which is caused by not checking the oil level and adding as necessary to keep it full. As long as the engine has the proper amount of oil it will run just fine. The leaks may cause a mess, waste of oil and money, but they will cause no damage to the engine.
