You've naffed up your pads CB, as Mr S pointed out they will have soaked up the oil, however if they are sintered pads, the oil may not have penetrated the pad material very far so you could remove the top layer and get down to fresh pad material.
I did this when my Ohlins blew a seal and sprayed fork oil all over the discs and calipers, nearly crashed, but that's another story. The pads were well soaked so I put them in the milling machine at work and skimmed about a mm off the top surface. Did the trick.
If you can be without your pads for a week or so, drop me a U2U and you can send them up and I'll skim em for you. Unfortunately this won;t now be till we get back after xmas hols tho'
Brake cleaner (inhibited trichlorethelyn) will clean the discs.
