    Default oil on exhaust manifold

    I had a bad oil leak which covered my exhaust manifold in oil. Now I can only drive for a few minutes, before I notice smoke coming out of the front grill. What can I use to remove it? Thanks

    Jet wash it off, just keep well away from dizzy and carb. Cover them up with plastic bags to be certain.

    It should burn off pretty quickly, I'd just leave the car stood running for a while
