My car has been starting cold, but when I stop and the engine is warm it struggles to start. I have looked at the crank sensor, the plug and wires were covered in oil from a leak somewhere. Could that be the problem? And will it be okay if I just clean the oil off.

Clean off the wires and scan for codes. Check the fuel pressure with a gauge most auto parts stores rent it.
