spray water, dump cat litter on it, use a push broom and rub it in, let it sit, wet it , use a broom again, then rinse, we did this to a freind drive way and it made the section we cleaned, cleaner than the rest of the driveway.

i put dish soap by itself over the stain, and i let it dry up. then i wash it away and its nice and clean. sometimes i like to scrub the soap. into the cement. i dont ad water untill i want the soap and the oil gone. works really well on cloths too.

I agree with last post.... Brake cleaner rocks!
You can spray carb cleaner (throttle body) on it and let it set a while...
