Sorry to read about the oil shower!

Here's a suggestion for the clean-up around the electrical connections...use distilled water in the process...it's electrically inert and will, hopefully, get any "engine carbon" off the resistors in order to prevent "carbon tracking" and related problems...rinse everything off the best you can, then "final rinse" (twice or more) with the distilled water, then use a hair dryer to help remove any additional moisture from any of the electrical parts/connections...

Good luck with the clean-up...
