Default Engine Cleaning.

I've had a massive power steering oil leak which has resulted in my engine now being covered in oil. What's the best way to clean the engine? Pressure wash, steam clean or some other option?
Thanks, Paul.

I always used to get my old cars steam cleaned but its getting harder to find anyone who does it properly now (lots of people saying they steam clean but its just pressure wash). I think quality engine degreaser + pressure wash is now the norm.

Degreaser and a brush, and then pressure wash off, cover the key parts and keep a good distance.
