Pressure wash the dirt and grime off the engine, then watch for where the leak is.

Nope, gets wet in a rainstorm anyway, was designed for moisture.

Just don't do it on a hot engine... Hot + Cold = Bad

Never knew of a rainstorm under the hood, Shifted. True the engine bay can tolerate a modest splash, but not a good drenching. If yer gonna power wash it, 'bag' up the alternator best ya can, and NEVER use cold water on a hot enine, lest you wanna risk cracking the block or head!.
