Depends on where, and how much. There will be a little there due to condensation, which doesn't really affect things. But if you get a lot of it, it can destroy the oils in the pan, and with that the lubricating system. Or if it gets in the cylinders you can get something called "hydro lock" which can destroy the engine. Or get it in the electrics, and the engine will most likely not run.
