If it is more than a couple of weeks, I would strongly suggest you remove the UIM and very carefully examine the gasket and upper around the EGR bore for damage. You may have to replace the gasket or the gasket and the UIM. Even if both are re-useable, it will be much easier to ensure that the stovepipe is properly seated with the UIM off.

The terminals on the coils are numbered. The front three cylinders are 1,3, and 5 from the left, and the rear cylinders are 2, 4, and 6 from the left.
Make sure to route the wires carefully and use the factory clips to hold them. A little dialectric grease inside the boots will make them easier to remove when replacement time comes again.

And, oil in the the UIM sitting on top of the LIM is pretty much a normal condition for these cars. It comes from the condensation of oil vapors flushed out of the crankcase by the PCV system.
