have a valve seal question

Right now I belive my valve seals have been going out for sometimes. Well to tell the truth since Sept. Now the question I have is there any danger to my engine if they go out or could it have had any such damage with in the last 5 months with running on valve seals that are about to go out. Thanks for help

only real problem would be excessive oil consumption and the problems it would cause.

So really there would not be a big problem with them going out. So it damaging the engine wouldn't likley happen then or would it. Sorry I just got back from work at 12 Am my time. So sorry if my question is a bit dumb...I am beat. IF it does cause any problems what would they be. The reason why I ask is because im going to get the dealership to fix it for free or give me the money for them to fix it and put it towards the 350. Thanks for the input and help
