Default Uh Oh Problemo!!!!!

Hey guys I just had the worse weekend of my life; but more on that later. The problem i ran into is for some reason my oil cap on my motor came off. I didnt noticed until i got out of my car and saw smoke coming from it. So i popped the hood and noticed oil everywhere(It squirted towards the front of the car not the back near the transmission.) So i bought a new cap and put it on and tried to whipe up as much of the oil as i could. Now my question to you is this. I still have some oil in some spots i cant reach (mainly towards the bottom of the engine bay). I was wondering from time to time i'll see smoke coming up, I know thats just the excess oil left over being burned off. My question is will that cost a problem later on and is there anything i should be watching out for?

Make sure your oil is full now.

Try using some of that engine degreaser stuff. spray it on and rinse it off.

Thanx guys for the advice and help. I had a rough sunday and now i just found out i gotta move out of my parents house which means i wont be able to do my engine swap hnoes:. So now that i have to find an apt and have to start paying rent. I have no money for a swap . But maybe some time down the road when i get my money from the law suit i'll be able to do the swap. I just hope my car can hold on until then.
