Question Clogged oil cooler?

I tried to search but I couldnt find an answer. Heres the question:

I had a pretty bad oil leak so everything down there is covered. I repaired the leak, new lines and blah blah blah But the oil cooler is covered as well. Is ther any thing special I should use to spray on there to get the oil out? Can I get the whole engine bay steam cleaned? Any advice would be great fellas. Thanks.

No, its just that I post good **** for you to read and then you don't read it and come back with a question that is clearly answered in the link provided. WTF do I even bother.

Go back to your ""how to turbo an NA for $350" and "Where can I find Altezza taillgihts" threads.

Watch that Castrol stuff! It will make your alum. and alloy parts look like hell! Read the warning on that. If you want your alum and alloy parts looking good and not tarnished.
