Been there done that. They might make some sort of rubber grommet to seal it off.

All is clean. Air compressor and light garden hose was my best friend. Only casualty was one COP from the moisture.

Also, all fluids (Tranny, oil, diff, transfer case, etc) were changed out after this, since it was due, but I took advance care and sealed all the dipstick prior. I also replaced the spark plugs since it was overdue as well. She's running great but I think i'll stick to the thicker stuff from now on. It's more fun, and easier to clean.
