78F350 provided very sound advise indeed..

What I would do in this case, is to buy two cans of (heavy duty) engine degreaser, apply it all over the engine and then "gently rinse" with "Very Low Pressure water" and thereafter use Simply green to remove the oily residue left by the engine degreaser, then again rinse with Low Pressure water..

Sorry to repeat but the Low Pressure water is the key to rinse your engine without getting water into any of the electric connectors, I have don this procedure for many years on all my cars and never had an issue..

After you drive the car it will be very obvious where the oil leaks come from, good luck!
