Spilled oil?

Yeah I did spill a little ,like the smallest amount wiped it up as good as I could , I let engine cool and degreased it but still doing it , didn’t want to run it too long incase it was something more serious , do you think it could just be burning any residue that I may have missed ?

Degreaser burning off now.

Let it run and burn off, just keep an eye on it, you should see where the smoke is coming from so as long as it's not a coil or plug lead etc it should be fine.

Ok I’ll let it run for abit and see how it goes , the smokes only coming from the header near where oil was spilled so you’re probably right , thanks for the info !

Just be chilled. Let it burn off. Keep an eye on it like Immortality said. Make sure it’s not a battery cable or stick of dinamite smoking. If it’s just surface smoking, you’re good.
