Mike, sorry I can't be of more help on the repair itself, but if you can't pressure wash it, or don't have a car wash nearby, then the old fashioned way of clean up may be all that's left, rags! Disposable rags and lots of them. The picture gives the impression that you can get your hands up there. If so, just wipe it down until it is, if not clean, then at least dry. Then you can fire it up for a quick second then see where the leak is coming from.
I tend to think though that if it was the lower seal, the spinning shaft would spray the oil in a straight up and down fashion, and leave the area around the upper seal relatively clean. Whereas if the upper seal is the leaker, gravity AND the spinning shafts would coat everything. Once you get it cleaned up (or at least dried), a very short run should give indication of which one it is. Hope it ain't both. Good luck, and nice job getting this far.
