Default Oil Soaked Wood

Has anyone ever done a test on the structural integrity of oil soaked wood? Is oil soaked wood bad? Does the oil make the wood weaker or does it degrade the glue joints?

Was Kurt K's plane from the Masters... had an oil pump failure inside the fuse...

basically oil is ok on wood - but as you said the glue problem - i have over time had some oil get into the box of some of my planes(wood) - i use JJ baby powder and blue spirits to clean - all ok after that but i must say it was mostly smoke oil - the damn stuff gets in everywhere including the seams of the covering and then onto the wood!!
