Tree Leaves in the engine
I was topping up my washer fluid when I noticed tones of leaves in the engine compartment. I spent 30 minutes trying to pull them out, then I had to get the vacuum cleaner to suck out the ones I could not reach
Has anyone had this problem? And how do you guys get the leaves out? I am also concerned that there might a risk of starting an engine fire as many of the leaves were really dry.

Same thing on all my cars.I use a combination of a shop vac to suck them out then I use a 2' blow gun attached to my air compressor to clean out the rest of the engine compartment.
