this is usually from a leaking tappet cover [very common]
I use the cheap foaming degreaser spray available from all the cheap shops for $2.99 approx
the foaming one is the best...
Just spray everywhere You can to get at the oil, wait 3-4 minutes and hose it off.. You can repeat it as many times as You need to..

PS: the oil doesn't seem to get inside My heat exchangers
as they are pretty well sealed.. but I do smell burnt oil sometimes when I put the heaters on.. the oil gets burnt up fast.. I do spray all under My
engine etc every month to get rid of any oil... cheers.. LEE
