I added a quart of Oil to my '79 242 today, and forgot to put the cap back on the engine before I drove to work.

When I got to work I found smoke coming from under the hood. I popped it up, and saw oil... everywhere. The smoke was from oil that was hitting the exhaust manifold. A huge mess.

Lucky for me, the cap didn't get lost, but now I've got a serious mess on my hands. Any tips on how to clean this up?

Thanks as always.
