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...

As above, brake cleaner ftw.

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!

So just spray the hole area? Should the wires and connectors ok to get sprayed?
