I would have loved a video of you in the shower with your ducks and the Fairy Liquid, Paddy!
Did you discover where the oil was coming from? You won't want to have to do it again in a hurry!

Blimey your ducks are amusing Paddy!
Now the only problem is using a soap or detergent removes the natural oils from their feathers and they won't be waterproof when they get wet when it rains or they bath. I would keep an eye out for this.
It will come back as they will oil their feathers from the preen gland but if the feathers have been washed using detergent, it may take a while.
