There is no penalty for leaving a covenant fairly, either by joining a new covenant or abandoning the covenant via Petrus or (I believe) Rhea for the Way of White, or via Oswald after ringing the first Bell of Awakening. There are only penalties for BETRAYING a covenant. Specifically, you will be kicked out of the covenant, NPC members of the covenant will become hostile, and you will be marked as a sinner, and therefore a target for the Blades of Darkmoon. These penalties can be removed by purchasing an absolution from Oswald.
