[net.auto] engine cleaning

Hi!  I could use some tips about cleaning my engine area.  I have an old VW
Super Beetle whose previous owner doesn't seem to have been too particular
about where the oil went.  I'd like to clean it up, and I've got some engine
cleaner which I've used successfully on my motorcycle, BUT . . . I'm a
little nervous.  It seems ok for my motorcycle, whose engine is expected to
get wet, but what happens when I hose down the engine compartment of my car?
I figure it probably has a hood for a good reason.  Can anyone give me the
good word about this?
