No, it will get sucked into the engine and burned.

Yeah, wish I had noticed the wobble on the crank pulley
earlier--like back in January when I first got the truck fixed.
I wonder if my insurance company will still pay for repairing it
if its due the accident. Anyone know if there's some sort of
statute of limitations on an insurance claim?
If I had a blown belly pan gasket, wouldn't I have some sort of
oil dripping from the engine? I have around 43K on the truck
and I'm not sure if my estimate of how much oil is being lost is
correct, I just know that over the past four or five weeks I've
added a full quart of oil (one half or so at a time).
Thanks for your message Will,
JY
