If you're worried about it, read the 3rd paragraph about covering the intakes, distributor and electricals with baggies or foil: http://www.carcareonline.com/viewarticle.aspx?art=4
Personally, I think most of those preventions are a little overboard. For example, the area around the oil cap and power steering fluild are the most dirty. For that, that's the first place I tend to spray Engine Brite. I never cover those areas.
Keep in mind, I'm not a mechanic, so it's probably saftest to cover the above parts. But again, I've never covered anything every time I wash my engine, which is about every other month for the last 8 years. I'm sure more will repond with similar answers in the next day or so.
