	Hopefully, your oil did not defy the laws of physics and floated to  
the top (coolant reservoir) where you can mop it up or wash out with  
soapy water. Dish soap in higher than normal concentrations does a  
pretty good job on oil and grease.
	I have used soapy water in the cooling systems of cars that had a  
particularly bad mess in them. A few fresh water flushes after seemed  
to get it all out. This works best in a warm engine.
