Not necessarily...I lost my first '68 GTO because of a leaky inlet. I thought, 'What's the worst that could happen? It'll go dead and I'll have to walk.'
Instead...Poof!....my car went up in flames.
Moral is, fix it properly the first time and be done. If it starts leaking while you are driving, it takes no time for the fumes to build up and there are some ignition sources under the hood.
