I've had repair shops tell me they won't do it w/o signing some sort of waiver. I've done it myself with just a garden hose and pressure nozzle but only on a cool engine.

I start the vehicle up in the driveway then begin hosing off the under side of the hood and then the engine. Again, the engine is still cool because it's been off all day I just started it up. While hosing it off, if I hear the engine start to bog down, I know I've watered something I shouldn't have and immediately back off. I let it run for a while afterwards when I'm done so as it heats up it evaporates some of the water.

I'm not advising you do this, just mentioning what I have done with my older pickup truck.
