Lightbulb K&N Filter Causes MAF Sensor Fault Code

Hey guys, over the weekend my cars Check Engine Light CEL went off and after doing a quick scan it appeared that the MAF sensor was the issue. However, after taking the sensor out and giving it a good cleaning I checked the filter and the new K&N filter I put in end of last season appears to be saturated in oil blocking air flow. Lucky I kept the old Porsche filter which I just cleaned it up well and placed back in the car for now.

Does anyone know how I can remove the oil off the K&N filter? Paid a small fortune for this filter and it's now causing issues with the car... it would be nice to clean it up so I can actually use it. IDEAS ?
