Yes, an overheated engine can cause an oil leak. When an engine runs excessively hot, it can lead to the degradation of gaskets and seals, causing them to become brittle and fail. This can result in oil seeping out from various points in the engine. Additionally, the expansion of engine components due to heat can create gaps where oil can leak.
