I spilled some liquid (was a bit oily) on my laptop keybord,is there a chance my whole laptop could be ruined?

I am unsure if that would hurt the electric system. I tried sucking up the juice with paper and even turned it a little upside down so anything left would spill out, but I am worried. Please help me!!!

    DO NOT TURN ON THE LAPTOP.

    Keep it off. Dry it out. Open the top so the keyboard is free to have liquid flow out of it.

    LET IT SIT FOR AT LEAST A WEEK!!!

    Computers are pretty much water-proof, as long as there is NO ELECTRICAL CHARGE. Remove your battery, unplug it, and let it sit for a few days.
