The only way to properly clean it is to drain the oil, since one can never remove all the oil, then place it upside down do no oil can possibly drain back, flush it with acetone many times, alcohol also can be used, until no possibility of oil, then apply some kind of epoxy in several layers, it would be OK if some drained into the case, just so it could be removed. Or, one could drill it out, tap it, insert a screw and epoxy.
