Is there a way to remove silicone off of red oxide primer, without destroying the primer?

I have silicone brake fluid in my "other ride" (1927 Ford Roadster)and it has gotten on the cowl. It is slowly spreading on the surface like an oil stain.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'd strip and re-prime, too easy at this stage of the game and too costly when it messes up the finish coats.

If the "red oxide primer" is lacquer based, then I agree with Ob1quixote", strip and reprime. But, before you do anything, wash the area with "Dawn" blue dish washing soap. It will clean off the silicone.
