kittie litter or saw dust have always worked for me.

Need to get it on the oil spill asap though to get it all up.

when i had to clean up some oil and tranny fluid stains on the driveway, i used some pool acid. i believe its called muratic acid or something like that, anyway it picked up everything. i just diluted it with a little water in a bucket, used a scrub brush and rinsed it off with a hose. it came out really good almost like new. just be careful not too inhale the fumes if at all possible...

We have found dirt and ashes from a wood stove work well also.
And might I add very cheap.

Kitty litter will absorb the spill so that you may scoop it up after. As for the stains, we use this orange stuff (Orange Blast, I think) sold in the automotive section at walmart. Just soak the stain with the orange stuff, let it sit for a while, and rinse it off with the hose. Most of the time it works but if it's a really dark and old stain, it takes two washes.

Simple Green automotive degreaser. Spray it on REALLY heavy, let it soak a while and evaporate. Also spray it on, let it soak, and scrub with a brush or something too.
