would foul up the plugs and oxy sensor if you have one (not sure what motor you have). And would leave some carbon in the chamber which could cause detonation or make the motor "run on" after you turn the key off from a hard drive (hot motor makes the carbon ignite the fuel and the car keeps running). Would probably root up a turbo pretty quick too i'd imagine (just a guess).

just foul them up with carbon. Which could cause bad flow through the exhause ports if bad enough. A small puff of smoke at start up probably won't do anything at all for a while but if you are burning oil all the time it would most likely cause afew problems to appear. Detonation from the carbon build up can crack pistons among other things and really root everything. This is really worst case scenaro though.
