Cleaning oil off the car..

I'm about to tackle some of the oil leaks on my car. What can I use to clean the oil off the back of the block and from under the car?

So the brake parts cleaner will not messup anything back there, like any of the plastics or the oil pan gasket?? I was gonna use like simple green and a rag for the most part..

Brake parts cleaner, then Castrol Cleaner stuff (purple bottle) if the oil is stubborn... it's meant to dissolve oil.

I've had pretty good luck with full strength "Simple Green" if the stuff isn't too baked on.
