Message	What is good to clean the external casing of the transmission and inside the bellhouse and the engine block? My tranny is very dirty and so is my engine and i want to clean it up. Is a pressure washer a bad idea? Also what is a good way to find the leaks? I have a new rear main seal and oil pan seals. Im guessing its the valve covers that are leaking. But is there any way to check with the engine on a stand? I know it is oil that is leaking. but the whole engine is full of gunk so i cant really spot it out.
