A few months ago a dealer did a free oil change on my car and fouled it up by nipping an o-ring. That resulted in oil spraying all the way from the front of the engine, back over the manifold and everywhere else a qt of oil can go. Pretty squeaky clean before that.
So, I took my car in for a some work and they're now telling me the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket and, would you believe it, the crank oil seal are all leaking.
I'm not saying they're wrong, but all must have failed in quick succession, or most of it is the left over results of the previous oil leak.
Next step, get rid of all the oil and staining still floating about and run it for a bit to see what's going on.
Needs to be safe for plastics etc, low pressure wash off, I've been warned that there's some electrics hanging around that get very upset if they're pressure washed and reasonably non toxic.
So, what's your favorite degreaser to use on an engine to get rid of oil and grime ?
