Under the hood detail
My powersteering pump had been leaking for a while and I finally got around to fixing it and afterwords degreased and detailed under the hood... This is the aftermath after about 4 hours of cleaning.

Re: Under the hood detail
The part you cant see is the frame, powersteering pump and A-arms. They had about a 1/8" thick layer of oil and dirt. Took 2 hrs just to start to break that down.

Re: Under the hood detail
My pressure hose had cracked underneath the wire loom and I just replaced the line. Took all of 20min and only cost 15bucks or so. However your problem may not be so simple first step is deterimneing where its leaking.

Re: Under the hood detail
degreser sit for few minutes, rinse, dressing, close hood and let run for 10-15 minutes, no hard work and looks crazy good
