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.

Simply fill the box with some Clorox and let it sit for a few hours
outside. Its not rocket science. And after its been dumped and
flushed..refill with good oil and get on with your life.

This is a fairly regular issue in machine shops, from lubricants to
coolants..particularly in this economy when many machines sit for long
periods of time.
