No worries, I've been doing my own work on my cars for over 20 years and could easily make a similar mistake when rushed for time.

As long as the engine wasn't overfilled there's not much to worry about. Air cooled engines always seem to have a healthy layer of oil on them... the up side, as mentioned, oil helps guard against corrosion. As for the oil that got on the paint, I would just wash with regular car wash. If that doesn't work then a light polish and wax after. I wouldn't recommend using any de-greaser on the paint as this would strip the wax and could leave odd marks/spots on old paint.
