Brake fluid spill, doh!

    I got a bit careless doing a brake pad service on th FJ1200 and ended up
    with a bit of a brake fluid spill. Madly grabbed whatever rags were
    within reach and mopped it up and got it off the fairing as quickly as
    possible. Just wondering what the best way to deal with brake fluid
    spills is. Apart from the fairing it also went through the engine.
    Should I be worried about that at all. I took the tank off and cleaned
    most of it up but I'm sure I didn't get it all.

    Then to really upset me, after all that I knocked one of teh brackets
    that holds the tank down, and apart from the clunk as it hit something
    metal, can't see it anywhere. :(

    When its happened to me, I spray shit loads of Nifty on it and flood
    it with water for 5-10 mins...
