1.9 Leon - OIL in WATER TANK!!! - Roy Brown

In my 1.9 Leon, oil cooler has been replaced. But, created a big mess now where the entire coolant system is covered in oil. Any tips on getting this out of the system? a person suggested petrol but im a bit wary putting any chemicals into the water system?

Non bio washing tablet or liquid . Leave it in for a couple of days to circulate. Then flush with clean water , and refill with correct antifreeze.
