Degreasing an Engine

Is there an easy way to degrease my engine? It's so covered in oil, dirt, and the like that I can't find my leaks.

I spent a good half hour at the self-wash hosing it down with their "pre-soak" and soap and high pressure wash. Nothing.

The underside of my hood looks like an oil bomb exploded on it. The pressure washer didn't do any good there, either.

Suggestions?

Thanks
-Matt

Try this Incredible Pink Stuff, stuff is awesome ...

It really is "Incredible" Pink Stuff, and it's not Incredible unless it's "Incredible Pink Stuff" made by Chem-Quest in Gorham Maine ...

Nope, I have nothing to do with them other then I buy a 55 drum about yearly.

-Enjoy
