I have used paper towel (good quality thick) to soak up excess oil in crankcase. If still concerned afterwards, make sure you pull sled over many times before putting spark plugs in to help it not hydraulic on you when you go to start it later. Will smoke for a while for sure. Won't hurt anything and will help for break-in. Make sure that isnt antifreeze down there or it will really smell and smoke bad on startup and be harder to keep running for a while.
