Brake cleaner? It's my go-to for degreasing.

Re: [MBZ] Clean oil off belt track
Engine degreaser or some simple green cleaner and an old tooth brush to scrub it, wipe down good If you don't have a steam cleaner you really should get one, that would make the job go pretty easy as the green cleaner and some steam will blast all the crap off easy without power washing. --FT On 1/15/22 11:26 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: So the 642 was leaking oil from the oil filter housing gasket and basically dripping into the belt which was slinging oil everywhere.
