PB Blaster burnoff

So I thought I was going to be doing my Grimspeed J-pipe install this weekend, so I PB blasted and Deep Creep'd the crap out of all the bolts, especially around the turbo. Well, for multiple reasons, I wasn't able to get to it. And now for the last couple of days after about 10 minutes of driving, I get the rolling smoke coming out of the front end, which I'm presuming is the PB blaster burning off because it's definitely not overheating.

So do I need to get back under there and do some sort of cleaning, or will it eventually burn itself off?

It'll definitely burn off, may just take a while.
I have a feeling there's some pooled up on the lower heat shield of the stock down pipe. And the smell is terrible. I look like I have the Griswold family truckster driving down the road, especially when I'm stopped at a light.
