See the white smoke in his pic? (tailpipe)
It would do that all the time. The smoke is caused
by unburnt fuel that goes into the cylinder during the exhaust stroke.
(remember, injectors open only during the intake stroke and isn't supposed to constantly dump fuel)

The best example is:
Heat up a piece of metal really hot, red even - say, a stubborn bolt.
Now, to unstick the bolt you spray it down with PB Blaster - you see white smoke.

What effect would it have? Besides the terrible gas mileage and lack of power?
Let's just say that you don't want to find out what too much raw fuel will do inside your exhaust manifold/turbo, shall we?

On the other hand, if somehow you were only leaking from the top? Pray you're fully covered with an "agreed value" plan or you just have tons of money lying around for a rebuild.
