you can use brake cleaner (rubbed very lightly) on rubber and plastic without too much fading, just dont use it on paint, itll eat it away. OR, you can be safe and just use a degreaser, dish soap, etc on a rag.

the latter seems like a safer bet. any harm in just leaving oil on the areas i can't get to (like the areas that i can't see the oil spilled on?)

Might smell a little... Try some of that purple cleaner stuff you can get at the auto parts stores.
