    Not good. Coke is one of the worst things you can spill on electronics, because it is so sticky. Secondly, you put it on a radiator which is too hot and too direct. THe proper way to do it it to place it face down in an airing cupboard, or a bowl of dry rice, which i know works with water, not too sure on coke. Be prepared for the worst, though.
