Engine paint opinion wanted...

O.k. Here's my deal... I wanted to paint my engine orange. I just want to. I like the color, and to me it looks "proper" rather then baby blue.

Now my car is gold, and I was thinking the gold/orange would be o.k but not quite right. Then I thought, hey? I have a black hood,black spoiler, and black stripes, and black engine would be KILLER! (Well, that is my theory for now at least) but...

I'm questioning, what if I have a oil leak? Would I even be able to see where it is coming from with a black engine? That might be a problem.

Does anyone have a opinion on this? Has anyone painted their engine black, could you post a picture??

Thanks a lot!
