How old is the furnace (I mean boiler) and chimney?
Like mentioned, I don’t think you have to panic but it should get resolved promptly.
The fact that your flue pipe rotted through could mean there are other underlying issues.
One other outside chance is that, now that it’s fixed it might take a little time to settle in. Oil in chamber to burn off and soot was stirred up.
Like someone said it can stay around.
I don’t know how finished the area is, but try a thorough vacuum and cleaning might help. Wipe down furnace too. Bet you there is a layer of black soot on everything.
