Reportedly sudden surge of oil getting pan cleaner? (3,5)

'pan cleaner?' is the definition.
(item for cleaning the toilet pan)

'reportedly sudden surge of oil' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'surge' could be 'rush' (synonyms) and 'rush' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lob' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'getting' acts as a link.
