Never take a hose to your engine. It's highly illegal these days anyway unless you capture all the water. Get a blow dryer and start drying out all the ignition wires and inside the distributor cap if it has one. Just pray you didn't blow water into one of the important modules. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Mega thousands in possible damage - hope not but cleaner and powered water over an engine loaded with electrical items - not good. If hot engine even worse, T hloney Novice Apr 18, 2010, 3:27 AM Post #4 of 5 (1502 views) Re: oil leak after pressure-washing engine Sign In thanx hammer. that was indeed a lesson neva to be forgotten. the car is ok now.
