If it is over long enough or at the right angle, you might be able to get a
hydrostatic lock on the motor, but since you righted it and it turned right
over, you don't have a problem there. More than likely you got some oil in
the air box - you can pop the tank off to clean that up. Otherwise you are
probably ok - just be sure to check your oil level to make sure you haven't
lost too much.
