How do I remove oil from under the hood?
I have some oil by the oil filter and I can't use my AC or heat anymore. The smell goes right through the vents and it smells extremely bad. My oil filter was a little bit loose and oil ended up getting all over that area. What is the best way to remove oil from that area?

carb cleaner works good for spot cleaning after you have it cleaned by degreaser. i think you just need to cover the filter with a plastic bag and use saran wrap to cover battery terminals and electronics.

Thanks, for the tip. Do I need to cover anything up before hosing it off?

Thanks for all the help guys. It's getting pretty bad now. Today I was driving my car and within a few minutes my car was filled with smoke, because of the oil. At first I thought my car was overheating, but it's coming from the oil.
