Default engine oil spill ...

when i was trying to add a little engine oil to my S2K today ...
i spilled a little engine oil ...
i wiped it down clean where i can see it. but some run through the entire block and dripped on the ground ...
do i need to worry about anything? clean them all?
oil runs into the spark plug?
anything?

oh no, take it back...j/k
shouldnt be too much of a prob. wipe off what you can see, the rest will drip off or nurn off. just dont be surprised to spell a little burnt oil the first few miles.

Just don't use "engine brite" or any other sort of strong cleaner to try to clean it. If you do, you can strip the paint of your valve cover and etch permanant ugly on surfaces of parts. Something like slightly diluted car washing soap should get rid of most of it. Even simple green tends to make all your rubber parts turn greenish brown.
