You probably need a new dipstick assembly from the dealer... should be cheap enough, and easy to fit
Take care of the spillage with a large aerosol of brake cleaner, just blast and wipe...

Autoglym engine cleaner is very good aswell at degreasing things but it's more xpensive then brake cleaner but does do a very good job!
