Use paper towels to get most of it up... then Greased Lightning/some kind of degreaser and paper towels... voila. :8
Used kitty litter before, but that takes too long, I like to get that ---- done and cleaned up quick. No brooms, thank you.

Got lost in your sig for a bit. Wheres it from?

I usually use newspaper/paper towels and then brake cleaner, as that tends to be the most abundant degreaser I keep around. Stuff like engine degreaser leaves an oily residue.

scoop it up in to a bucket and leave it outside in the rain, after a week or 2 of rain the oil magically dissapears from inside the bucket...wierd ;D

saw dust and gasoline FTW

My father an I run a wood pellet mill so we have hundreds of tons of sawdust at a time. When the loader leaks some hydraulic fluid we just use a handful of sawdust.

At home I have an old beach towel that I designated "---- Towel". With it I wipe up anything from oil, to anti-freeze. It's one dirty mother fucker.

Soak most of it up with Oil-Dri or kitty litter.

It usually leaves an oily film where the spill was. Get a galloon of prep-sol or laquer thinner and pour some on the oily residue. Pour some kitty litter, or Oil-Dri, on the solvent and scrub with a broom.

Brake cleaner also works wonders also with the above method.
