You must have spilled some when removing the filter.

For sanity's sake, go make sure the oil filter and drain bolt are not leaking.

Otherwise, you can either wipe/wash down the area where you spilt, or just wait for it to burn off.

I've used the 'engine wash' option at car washes with success before, but be careful what you spray, anything with an electrical connector may not like pressurized water.

Otherwise, just a rag.
