nah you wont, unless you empty the acumulator into the engine then shut the valve... as soon as oil pressure in the engine is higher than that charge of air in the accusump (usually about 10 psi) the oil is pumped back out of the engine and fills the accumulator...
so the only time you will have more than the usual amount of oil in the sump,
is at start up, or if the engine has just experienced surge... as soon
as the engine oil is back up to pressure,, the accusump is full again.
