Yes, that is usually what happens.  Should be no problem, fill it again,
drive to shop.  That small amount of oil won't hurt the engine (tho it's
possible you might notice a little blue smoke).

Or replace that pesky O-ring yourself, it's not hard at all once you know
how.  But you will probably need to reset the mixture again, afterwards.
