What are the effects of oil spilled on the engine?

Question

about 5mos have passed and i wanted to know if there are any adverse reactions of oil spilled on the engine

Answer 1

just a little bit of smoke until it burns off.... otherwise, none. If you're worried, they sell engine de-greaser you spray on and hose off at any local auto parts store.

Answer 2

It'll smoke like crazy if it gets on the exhaust manifold or the exhaust pipe.  Other than that, it won't hurt a thing.  

Answer 3

It won't hurt anything but it will stink for awhile until the oil is burnt off.

Answer 4

No effects other than maybe some smoke coming from the hood for the first couple of miles... You;re fine! As long as you didn't take a hose and hose all the electronics down in oil, it should if anything make the car run better.. Or last longer.. You will probably see some smoke. It's just the oil burning off.. Whipe the excess off so it doesnt turn into a bon fire and you'll be fine... No big deal, promise!

Answer 5

it helps dust stick to motor .... is about it... most all cars will leak a bit oil oil at one time or another.... 5 months pass not really any need in worrying about it now.. any time you spill oil or what ever best to get a rag and clean it up best you can .... you can always wash it off at any car wash.. just leave the motor running and dont spray the disturber cap... or electronics's
