The valve guide itself doesn't keep oil from entering the chamber. That's what the seal does. The guide keeps the valve centered in the seat and allows it to slide up and down. If the seal is going bad, not much you can do to help it without pulling the valve spring on that cylinder and replacing the seal. It could also be the rings on that cylinder. I won't hurt to drive the car that way though. If you're going to have a valve job and new seals put on later, it won't make any difference how long you drive it.
