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.

Congratulations on completing your college studies -
To absorb the oil in those tough to reach spots, Bubba suggests you stick a tampon on the end of a piece of #9 wire and reach in there.
