Best cleaner for oil/water mix in engine compartment?
 
I had an oil leak thru the remote oil filter. The water/oil mix left a grey mucky mess all over the engine compartment. What is the best cleaner? Simple green was OK, but everything is still sticky and slippery. Any suggestions??
Thanks

Zep floor degreaser...watch it though its strong, will eat aluminum anodizing if it splashes onto it.

Clorox Clean up. It will cut the oil and not hurt anything else.

Greez-off works great.

I make a mess every time I change my filter (SBC Volvo Penta, way in the back) and I have decent luck with Purple stuff Autozone and Advance Auto sells.
