A little bit will not do significant harm but should be removed as soon as possible. If you filled it with Transmission Fluid it would probably get the fluid too hot to be an effective lubricant and may cause the engine to seize up. Sometimes mechanics will put about half a quart in an engine and run it for 20 miles or so to "clean" it. Not a good idea. A good quality detergent motor oil will work just as well and can be run for 3 or 4 thousand miles between changes.
