I need to find a good (and maybe even simple) way to rid the inside of my fuselage of oil that entered courtesy of a blown oil cooler. For the past two days, it's leaked out the tail wheel area into a nice puddle.
I was told I could use a siphoning type cleaninggun

Does anyone have any ideas on how to tackle this clean-up?
thanks and best regards,
Brad
