oil down front of motor

ive just got this truck couple years ago and really wanting to clean up the front of the motor,, there is alot of oil and gunk down the front of it,, never drips on driveway or garage but its pretty nasty on front in. Do you all think its HPOP gasket? also can i degrease the front end and spray it off???

I was able to clean mine up pretty good with some Simple Green. Warm the engine up (warm, not hot) and then spray it with Simple Green (or any other de-greaser for that matter, but I like Simple Green). Let it soak for 10 minutes or so then hose it off gently with a garden hose (not a pressure washer). Once you get it cleaned up you should be able to locate the leak a lot more readily.
