   You can either wipe it off with an old rag,or hot water in a small spray bottle(what I use)

   The way I do it and have never had any issues with it is the way you described
   
   Spray on TFR
   Leave for a bit
   Jet wash off
   
   I just make sure the engine isn't turned off
   
   
   Have you checked it's not coming out the dipstick, run the engine with the bonnet up and see where it's coming from

    Citroen main dealers,if you go to a scrappy you might end up with a distorted baffle plate & more oil leaks.
