Because of amount of electronic bits under most car bonnets nowadays not many people offer steam cleaning.    Try using some engine degreaser instead which you brush on in the area where oil is thickest ,once it’s clean run car and hopefully you will see where oil is coming from.  What vehicle is it ?

Agree with Rudds, rags and degreaser is the way to go.

On my Megane oil was coming from loose connection on turbo intercooler pipe

Try the megane or renault forums - there's lots of posts about oil leaks. It might give you some pointers to common fail parts with age,
