Oil will go $&#$% everywhere, firerisk maybe?
Oil on belts and stuff probably isn't good.

engines run better when the oil is on the inside, not all over the outside.

If you try running the engine with the dipstick out you will see what happens, without the oilcap is just on a larger scale...... It'd actually be better if you didn't try though....
