When installing the turbo for my t2 conversion I left the oil feed line on top of the turbo loose and a bunch of oil spilled. Im thinking it was something close to 1/4 quart. I would normally let oil burn off of the em, but being thats its turbo I've been worried abou it catching fire because of the high temps so Ive been letting it warm up briefly then cutting it off and letting it smoke and cool down. Does that sound right or should I not be overly concerned with it catching fire?

Damn, searched oil flash points, it was like +380. Sucks to read that at this moment....

Just let it run, it won't catch fire idling or in normal driving. Or you can spray it with some degreaser and hose it off.
