I wouldn't worry too much. I'd just take it out and try to wick off some of the oil with a shop rag or paper towels.

had a K&N in my audi, then my Passat, total junk.
Paper filters better.
you can use an old pillow case and swing that sucker around fast and get the excess oil off of it.

Properly done a KN is one of the best around. Properly done. I know that happens once, new from the factory.
