Hi Peter

In respect of the contamination issue and assuming the aircraft was not fitted with a diesel contamination is unlikely. Avgas is a very light fuel and would rise to the surface and evaporate. Ask anyone who runs a fuel installation about evaporation losses.
Any seabird that landed it would shift fairly quickly and again it would evaporate off.
Having being covered in it more than once in my career I can vouch for that.
