Default Power Washing engine

I was thinking of power wasing my engine where there was a power steering leak I wanna clean that up. Is there anything i should avoid washing under the hood? I want to clean it too cause it is really dirty, 108,000 miles of off roading and highway = really dirty!
Thanks
justin

if you have an aftermarket cai avoid the filter......i wouldnt use a pressure washer first though.....use this.... QC engine detailer it comes in an airsol can form from murrays ..... then use a pressure washer once it has set for like 2 mins not only will everything be cleaned but it will shine so purdy.....
