Default 2015 Chevrolet Cruze LT - Oil Change Issue

Good Day everyone.

I just got a Chevy Cruze LT 6308 miles for a good price.

This vehicle needed some work is done like the oil change and everything but I got the vehicle's oil to brand new along with a new battery.


Only to discover I accidentally spilled a small bit of oil on this part of the vehicle.

Small bits of smoke comes out from that part and gives a small discoloration to it. I'm thinking of opening it up and cleaning it out really through-like but I need your opinion first.

Please see the video.

Yeah the turbochargers do get hot. I doubt a small amount of oil is going to harm it. It'll burn off is all
