Usually it makes them leak... if it's an intake it will spit back through the intake manifold, if it's an exhaust (more common by far) it will make a "fsst" sound in the exhaust at idle and run a little rough, almost like a "partial miss", under load at low RPM.

compresson test will find a leak fast if the valve isn't sealing
