If there are no oil drips under the car, and no smoke, just keep an eye on the dipstick. If you do not seem to be losing oil, it is probably just a spill, as you said. I use a funnel when I fill oil - leave it in the filler until it drains fully and then keep it in a jug. Not a drop spilled.

If the rocker cover gasket fails it can fill up the spark plug holes and is still a cheap and easy fix. Check again at next service to see if they have filled up again.
