Try brake clean...I work at a car garage now as an apprentice mechanic and we use brake clean here to take the oil out of anything......even our hands and clothes.
As for the leak...if you have no oil in the coolant, filter and drain plug are good. check the corners of the valve cover gaskets that go. My mechanic here I work with said if so just try tightening them a little more (not a ton though) and drive it for a couple of days (3-4) and check them again. If that is not the problem then it has got to be in the oil pan.
But they are cast panes and well not very often do they leak. we usually find it is in the valve gaskets though....I'd say at least 5-6 out of every 10 we see with that problem of leaking oil.
If none of that works just pm me or email me and i will see what else that it could be with my lisenced mechanic and the ones I know here in Kingston.....
Good luck ANTHONYD hope this helps you out a ton.....
