Default Went to add some oil...

I was adding some oil (since I have an awesome leak) and I got a little pour-happy and some went down around the intake manifold. Do I have anything to worry about?

Just soak up what you can with a rag. It'll just smoke a little while it burns the rest off.

Nahh, not at all. Its just going to smoke and stink for a little while, won't do any harm though.

If you want to try and get if off use some Simple Green Automotive Degreaser, works great on oil
