I don't know about your '88 but in my 84-87 Bentley manual, they say the 
engine compartment has a anti-rust clear coating. Steam cleaning removes 
this.

If you must steam clean, they advise respraying the engine compartment
when your done.

I advise not doing this at all. The various spray on cleaners, such as 
"Gunk" work well. I'm sure Gunk would also remove this coating but,
if you spray carefully, you can keep it just on the engine.

The high pressure soap and water hoses at the "do it yourself" car wash 
work pretty well too.
