I recommend that you not bother cleaning it at all. That really 
doesn't help find an oil leak because the thing you finally realize 
about oil leaks is that they are CLEANER than the dirty stuff 
around them. Thus they are often actually harder to find on a clean 
engine. 

Look for places where the oil has washed away the dirt, leaving a 
clean path which is not particularly noticable as oil.

Give us some idea of where you see the oil dripping. Are you 
needing to add oil?
