I would rinse the sump with bateriocide diesel and not bother to dry the sump.
Diesel has a little lubricating properties and a little diesel should not be a problem.

You are probably right Dan. I'm just wondering if it will be effective
or if I should just refill with new oil. If I had an oven big enough I
would just bake the thing at 180 degrees for a few hours and be done
with it.
