As for that spot, if you just stuff a lint free rag up far enough to get any nearby residual oil, you'll have time to put your sealer in and the pan on before anything else gets there.
One *huge* time saver in getting oil pans on is something like the milwaukee 1/4" impact. With the screw shooter setting, it'll put the bolts down to 3-4 ft-lbs. so you get the pan on and tight-ish super fast.

Yeah, that was my paranoia. I wanted to be sure the sealer dried before any oil mixed in. I used Dreibond 1209 and just wanted to be sure I got a solid, uncompromised seal.
Bottom line is there is not a right or wrong, everyone has their own method. I wanted to be sure I would not have to do this twice and gave me some time to clean her up under there.
