Just clear the code and keep driving. If it is just oil it will clear itself this Summer

The oil residue will purn up with time. The cat gets hot because of the radical recombination that it is there to do. The hot cat will burn up whatever oil residue is there. If the cat is shot, nothing you can do...

I would be more worried about the other code, which could be an electrical fault.
