Default steam cleaning.........

Hi all, ive got a small oil leak on my 2wd cossie. The engine is a bit mucky so need to clean to try and find leak. Is it ok to steam clean me engine? is there any stuff that needs to be covered?
Thanks in advance!!!

just stay away from ignition system and try not to direct the steam at electrical connections, you should be alright then
