Keep doing this until the oil coming out the bottom of the freewheel runs clear. Wipe off all the excess oil and wrap a rag or paper towel between the inside of the freewheel and the spokes. Let that drain for a few hours so you don't have oil coming out while you ride. If it's a freehub, then you need to tell us the brand and model so somebody can tell you how to take it apart and clean/lube.
