Default Oil on titanium heat wrap

I have had a oil leak from a oil cooler hose and have some oil on the titanium heat wrap is this a dangerous fire hazard.
Or will this be not so dangerous and will it go away when this gets warm.
Or can I clean it with brake cleaner.

Best to get the leak stopped ASAP, too much oil on it and Heat could yes set it on fire depending on amount of oil.
Yes brake cleaner etc will soak it up a bit and eventually burn off.
I wouldn't be comfortable having oil dripping on heat wrap.

The leak is already stopt but there's a little oil on the wrap.
There's not that mutch oil on the wrap I no with normal wrap it more likely to catch fire I don't no if it's the same with titanium wrap.

Will brake cleaner help to disperse PAS fluid as well?
