Degreasing the engine for troubleshooting suggestions?
So after a few years sitting and then a 1500 mile trek from Ohio to Colorado oil has wept all over the underside of my engine. Of course thanks to this I can't determine exactly where the leaks are so I can attempt to address them. The leaks aren't all that bad luckily, they just deposit a fine film to everything while the oil level is still good.
That said...any unobtrusive ways to clean up the oil and get the engine dry again so I can start observing? I have some ideas myself but I worry about anything that would be affected by solvents.

Oven cleaner is great for cast, but do not use it on aluminum as it will eat the aluminum and permanently leave it discolored/etched.
This is why there is a particular warning on "Easy Off" not to use the product on aluminum. Just do a google search of oven cleaner eats aluminum and you'll read a ton of horror stories along plenty of pictures containing ruined aluminum car parts from people who try it anyway.
