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,
If you checked the oil level of a cold 911 engine on a level ground and could see the dip stick with oil mark, you have sufficient oil. And compare the oil level with a fully warmed and running engine. As long as I have oil on my dip stick when cold and not running, I get the warm oil level between the two marks (low and high). The cold oil level on the dip stick could go up between 1~ 1.5" from cold not running engine to a fully warmed running engine. I use this guide to determine how much oil I have in the tank before driving out of the garage.
