The leakage only occurrs as long as there is differential pressure between the coolant system or oil system. As soon as some fluid drains off the pressure equalizes and the leakage stops.
This will not be a large amount of fluid.

If slightly too much liquid enters the cylinder.........the engine will fail to rotate. You can't compress liquid. Your scenario works only for the one specific situation where the perfect amount of fluid is sitting in the cylinder..........not too much (the engine won't rotate)...........not too little (the rod won't bend).
