I fired up the Onan today for the first time since getting help from Ken B to get it running.  (Thanks again Ken!)

I fired it up from inside the coach and everything was running great.  I walked outside to the generator compartment (it had been running for about 2-3 minutes) when I saw oil spewing out of the bottom of the generator compartment.  I ran into the coach and hit the shutoff switch and then opened the compartment to see what had happened.  Apparently the oil dipstick cover had rattled loose and oil was bubbling up over the entire generator.  So now I've got an Onan absolutely covered in oil.  (and there is some older oil there as well which leads me to believe this had been a problem in the past)...

What's the best way to get the Onan cleaned up without damaging anything or ruining the paint?

Thanks!
