Default gentle roll over, motor oil in air filter

hey guys, just put my '04 500 on it's lid with a gentle tip and rollover... I put her back on her wheels and noticed a bunch of blue smoke when i started it back up (oil, I know). The next day in the daylight I checked the air filter box and noticed a little oil had drained thru the intake and into the filter box... Just wondering if there is anything i should do besides clean the air filter and wipe the box out... Any suggestions???

it will do that upon rollover

it runs up the crankcase breather into the airbox(i believe),,,,,,,check your oil level,,,,wipe it up,,,should be fine

If you have a paper air filter,,,,it will need to be replaced if it got oil on it,,,,,,or if it is cleanable (K&N etc),,,just clean it

Be Sure to clean the air box housing And see that the oil hasn't hurt your carbs but to be on the safe side clean it with carb cleaner just in case.
