This is probably a stupid question, but I will ask anyway, my dad drives a 2000 Kia sportage and his engine bay is filthy as hell and I was going to clean it but his valve cover is leaking, and his head is also leaking oil. Would it still be ok to clean the engine with oil leaks?

yeah, that is fine......there is no way any water will get in under the valve cover.


btw.......a 2000 with a oil leak from the valve cover....only a kia

its fuked up, the valve cover is leaking, the head is leaking, the oil pan is leaking, the tranny is leaking, and I wouldnt be suprised if the rear main seal was leaky.

"Engine-Brite" & foamy engine brite will help cut the oil off. I would try to not get it on too much plastic though, concentrate on metal. I used to use it, pretty safe.

I used the foamy engine brite to clean his engine. I like that stuff, but it leaves the white film on everything. So I used the CD2 engine detailer when I was done.
