Default Oil smell

Hello people and welcome to one oil smelly S! Long story short, my transmission oil leaked out about a week after i got the car and all of it went all over the underneath part of my car (i was driving). So the issue i am dealing with now is that every time i drive the car and it heats up, all the oil smell really starts to come out! Any suggestions on what i should do to get rid of this smell?! Buy some degreasers and get down underneath the car? Do some kind of a carwash? Thx ahead of time!

you can do that or get some simple green or dish soap and use that to clean it off. i think simple green works really well with oil like that

Simple Green is your best friend

Just get under there and start cleaning. Oh and be careful not to get any of that stuff near your eyes.
