Clean it up with soap and water

Knut:

Take your UT4 apart and clean it up with ordinary dishsoap and water.

Then let it dry for several days and put it back together.

As long as you don't try to power it up while it's wet, you should not have a problem.

Use air compressor

If you have an air compressor, you could speed up drying by blowing air at about 50PSI at least it gets rid of the majority of the droplets.

rinse

If you want to be sure on the rinsing, you could try distilled water.  There should be nothing in it to cause issues.  You can get it at a drug store or walmart.  Since there's nothing in it but pure water, you won't get any spots or mineral builup where you rinse with it.  I'm not sure about components rusting, but I would guess that as long as you dry it off well enough it should be ok.

Oil is unlikely to cause a short. Where I work the electronics in our machines often get covered in oil based coolant, as long as the oil does not attack the materials no problem. 

The water based coolant, well that attacks most plastics and kills the electronics.

If you wash electronics with water use pure de-ionizied water, such as battery water and let it dry out fully. Better is to use a solvent spray designed for electronic cleaning, most electronic suppliers will keep it. Watch out for rubber button contacts on throttles they do not react well to being cleaned.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your answers!

I got the following answer from Digitrax TechSupport:

Just wipe them down good with a damp rag.

I do have a can of CRC 2-26 at home, and I have a water rinser system that gives me very ckean water,

It also seems that a lot of the oil has evaporated from the surface. Maybe the fact they are placed not very far from the heater helps.
