No it's separate mate, it's a sealed system so you won't lose any engine oil.

No it won't spill the oil, the only oil that will come out is possibly some diff oil. Done it plenty of times mate. Diff oil and engine oil are different remember, therefore they cannot mix or it would fuck everything up, easy way to remember.
