How much did you put in? That's what will matter. One drop and you will be fine. Perhaps it even helped (as Dave Mccullum describes in his book.) if you put a lot in, there is a chance it can fling around in the motor and get on the brushes, and possible burn it out. My guess is that oil in it once and it will survive. If you're super worried or you put a ton in, you might want to open the motorup and try to clean it out some. There are motor tutorials out there...
