Unhappy oil all over the engine - issue?

I pulled a bonehead move and didn't notice the old gasket clinging to the oil filter mount during an oil change. I always start the truck and check for leaks, so I didn't do any damage. But I did manage to blow oil all over the front of the engine compartment, all the way to the passenger side wheel/rim, before I could shut things off...

Am I going to have issues with my belts having gotten all full of oil? Can I just spray the engine compartment clean with the 'engine cleaner' setting at a self serve car wash?

yes, just be sure to not spray the PCM or any other obvious electrical components
