Safe to steam clean?

Recommended Posts

Many moons ago the oil filler cap came off my 2.0l 16v due to a snapped lug.The sound proofing was soaked and I assume the oil reached places it shouldn't around the engine.The smell of hot oil that pervades the car is starting to get on my nerves as it's the only thing wrong with the car; apart from the heater cables and a respray of course.Would it be safe or even advisable to steam clean the engine bay?

I know that for some cars,Lancia step forward, it's sudden death to use a steam cleaner.

Cheers Alan.

Plastic bag any electricals before you start. Some of the oil may have atomised into the air channels, but this should dissapate with time.
