Default Oil leaked out of head WHILE torquing down the head bolts. Problem?

SO, last night I torqued the headbolts down on my mini-me swap. I made sure all surfaces were clean, and I then placed the z6 head on the block. While I was lubing up the head bolts with the ARP-moly though, some oil in the head leaked out. There was enough to leak out of the front about an inch down the block.

My conern is; there is now oil in the head gasket between the head and the block.

Will this cause a problem? I am using ARP head studs and a Honda metal y8 3-layer headgasket.


Thanks in advance.
