What is the best way to degrease my car after a main seal leak

My front main seal has been leaking for some time and has left the underside of the car really dirty and greasy.
I am planning to fix the seal soon. After the seal is fixed I was thinking of taking the car to a local do it your self car wash driving the car up on ramps spray a ton of degreaser and pressure wash the bottom of the car to get all the junk off … my next question is what about the engine bay? What’s the best plan of attack to clean up the engine bay short of removing the engine.

Simple green automotive spray. it gets all the gunk off. i spray on , leave for about 10 minutes then wipe or spray off.

I just get my car on ramps and hit it with my high pressure hose, works great if you have one, no oil withstands 1700 PSI thrown at it . No paint for that matter too, so be careful.

HECK YEAH!!! pressure washers rock. my driveway looked like the Exxon Valdez docked there prior to my intake oil leak, an hour of pressure washing and some degreaser, it's as clean as can be.
