How can you detect an oil leak if the engine has been steam cleaned?

I'm shopping for a used van. I know some dealers will have the engines steam cleaned so they look nicer. Is there a way to detect an engine oil leak even if it has been steam cleaned?How can you detect an oil leak if the engine has been steam cleaned?
Ask to take it for a drive and drive it all over and then have someone check the motor for leaks if it has a leak you will see it after a drive but its hard to find a used cars with no engine leaks a little leak won't kill it but if its pouring oil out i would buy it.How can you detect an oil leak if the engine has been steam cleaned?
If an engine is leaking, you'll be able to tell where it is coming from after a few miles. In fact, it will be easier to spot when it's clean.
Hopefully it has been parked in the same place every day, look for oil on ground. Other than that no.
