If there's a problem with the AOS... worst case, it dumps oil into the intake, and a cylinder fills with oil. Then on the compression stroke the engine grenades because oil can't be compressed.

Yes, it's serious.

Of course, the problem could be something like a failing head gasket or valve cover seal.
