Speaking with brutal honesty as a low hours newbie:
I would tell myself that the wiggle was probably just a twitch in the sender, I would keep climbing on the grounds that I have no idea if easing off will be better or worse for the engine, and temperature is OK, and if something is going to fail it might as well do it while I am ready for it and staring at the dials, so I might as well claim every foot while I can. I would watch T and P's like a hawk and be ready to immediately head for home if I saw something abnormal. I would keep climbing to get as much spare in the bag, but not start any aerobatics until I was sure everything was stable and normal for that a/c.
I am fully aware that may not be what I should do.
(But I would also suggest that leveling off does not make a lot of sense to me. If you have concerns, go home. But by leveling off you guarantee that home will soon be out of gliding range)
