The preventive decision point is past. Whatever damage there is has been done. Finish the repair and drive it. Deal with any damage if/when it becomes apparent.
And to add to that become a member of one of the Auto Clubs that has some free Towing so that you have a better choice.
Only time will tell if there was any damage done.

I am curious why knowing that it was gushing Oil you did not buy more quarts of Oil then you did so that you could pull over mid trip and add some more; decreasing you chances of damage?
