after looking under the bonnet earlier, trying to find the source of an oil leak. i decided the engine bay could do with a clean.
whats the easiest/best way of doing this, i was thinking of just pressure washing it at a low temp, would this damage anything?

I'm going to have to have a clean tomorrow, looking for an oil leak too

I'm gonna pressure wash the inside like you say, but make sure you don't presure wash the oil cooler or rad! else it will be a bit holey
