I agree with what @bcj had to say.

Just clean it up and see if it comes back.

If the tires on your car are the OEM summer tires and you plan on driving it in the winter, I suggest you invest in a set of winter (or at least all-season) tires.
Don't wait till you try to drive on the first snow covered road to see what I'm ah talken about -

Thank you all so much for all the advice and welcome!
This is actually my second 86 that I've owned. I had a brand new ultramarine FR-S back in 2015 that I leased. I loved it, but had to return my lease early in order to save money to complete college and fulfill my student teaching requirements. I'm happy to be back in an 86 again!

I was able to clean up a little bit of the oil (some is in very tight hard to reach places) and drive the car a short distance after work.

Nothing seemed to return, but I did notice that the spot directly behind the oil filter did have some collected there as well. It makes a lot of sense that the CarQuest filter Carvana installed was probably a quick change, and they probably did not use a funnel either.

I'll continue to monitor it and try to clean up the tough to reach spots!

Thank you again!

The car came with like new Bridgestone Turanza all season tires instead of the Michelin Primacy Tires. I think I should be okay this winter in light snow conditions with the car, but I'm looking into possibly purchasing Blizzak tires for safety and piece of mind.
