Oh god, the lens is a complete write off, you going to have to either throw it away or donate it to me for "parts"...
Oil on blades on these lenses isnt a big deal like it is in SLR lenses just because setting the diaphragm is absolute. However, if you are in a hot climate that oil can over time evaporate and settle on the lens elements (which are cleanable), but make for a reasonably unusable lens.
If you can afford the time or money to have it cleaned then doing it would be wise.
