I just sloshed some oil around the refill area and some went on or down the outside of the exhaust manifold. When the car runs the manifold now emits smoke as the oil burns off. Will it reach a flash point and ignite? I wiped it off with a towel. Any other ideas? Spray with water? I used to not worry about such things until I read about Toyota Siennas burning because of sloppy oil changes. Now I'm paranoid.
