i know oil can make the burshes fail quite quickly but thats about it.   

on some of the kit i used to work on it come in with the alternators dripping with oil, if i felt uber keen they'ed get thrown in the parts washer whole and some new brushes,  other times they got left till the charge light started to flick then they just got new brushes
