Im thinking that the fan blew what oil was leaking all over the place making it difficult

What do you suggest cleaning it with? Brake Cleaner? Im afraid to power wash do to putting water on the wrong parts.
back in the day we used fuel oil but i gusss brake cleaner would work after you scrape some that off now under the bottom of moter i use oven cleaner and i take it to car wash before i spray. it looks like the leaking oil he lived on a gravel road and it all built up. unless you want to pull moter and clean it your probably going to say screw that?

good luck
