Cleaning up oil spill on engine

[Sanjman]

I have a B7 which recently had the usual failing PCV valve problem. Because of this engine oil spewed all over the engine bay around the oil cap... I think I can do some risk management control on the engine and not wash it entirely because the car is fairly new and still looks new [up].. what's the best method of getting out the oil spillage without having to wash? Can any soap used on a towel and just clean it off?

TIA

get yourself some degreaser like CG Grime reaper or P21S total auto wash and let it soak for a bit. It's not a big deal though
