Stupid rookie move - oil everywhere

So early this am when I had about 5 extra minutes before I had to leave for work I had the genius idea to quickly add some oil to the 1988 3.2. It was near the bottom of the fill line. Being the clever girl I am, I was putting the oil in with the engine running and the oil overfilled the funnel by a big "glug" (large mouth 5 liter oil jug). Oil sprayed everywhere. I mopped the big puddles off as best as I could with a super hot engine, but there is oil spray all over the engine and everything in the compartment. Most of it landed on to of the fan and is on the belts etc.

Is this a problem?
Will it hurt anything?
It seems resistant to being washed off the paint....is it corrosive?

i have already thrown my scrubs away (saturated) - what else do I need to do?

The driveway is covered in oil droplets as well....

thanks,
humble queen
