Either way no risk to aircraft or pax
Just need to amplify that a bit, Sonic - there is a potential SIGNIFICANT risk to pax and crew due to the composition of modern engine oils and the possible toxic nature of fumes, and all such events are treated as extremely serious.

Another not uncommon cause is overfilling of the oil by maintenance.
