99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol is your best bet.
It will remove any oil and will air dry.
It will not hurt any rubber or plastic or metal.

DO NOT use 70% Rubbing Alcohol.
It is NOT the same.

Good luck with the JB Weld.
I would have the case scanned for any further crackage that you do not
readily see before attemping and after attempting repair.

Looks like your oil pump did spike, and crack your case...
