Use an engine degreaser and spray suspected area this will tell you if its leaking -

I just watched a video on how to apply degreaser. Can I spray the degreaser all the places or are there any places I should not spray. Thank you for the response.

Avoid electrical connectors and components. At least do not use pressurised water for cleaning them. Remember to dry the engine well before starting.
