Do you mean the Oil is getting hot, or the engine is getting very hot? Comma's are important. The engine oil going to get pretty hot, as it makes the journey through the engine, into the cylinder head and lubricating the piston etc.
i would remove the blower housing and check for mouse nests or debris block air from the cooling fan.

can be as high as 320 degree on an air cooled engine, that will take your skin off.

Agreed. Examples:

1. What are we going to eat, grandmother?

+1. Use only a leaf blower and/or compressed air and/or vacuum. Using a pressure washer would probably create more problems than it would solve.
