Hey Scotty, I dropped a bit of engine oil when refilling it and it looks like it went on the axle axle boots.
Is it ok to leave as is? If not how can I clean it?
Please see the picture attached. Thanks
The issue here is oil destroys a lot of plastics/rubber/paint stuff. Wipe up as folks have said and wash with Dawn dish soap and water until it's not oily anymore... and while car/engine cold ; )
I would just wipe up what you can and it should be fine.
I'd say just wipe it up, maybe with a damp rag and that should be fine. I wouldn't let it get baked or dried on the boots. And I wouldn't try to use any harsh chemicals to clean it. Just use some water on a damp towel.
Get some kitty litter and put a good layer of it over where the oil was and leave it overnight to soak it up, then dust the area with some concrete dust to finish it off!
Not a problem, once dropped alot of oil on the side the bottle even went GLUP! GLUP! GLUP! it smoked for quite some time but I never had any damages because of it. Just take the time to clean up.
Use brake cleaner spray.
It's a degreaser but it evaporates.

Brake cleaner is very hard on anything rubber or paint. I would not use brake cleaner.
