How do I clean oil stain from my driveway?

[jlee]

Had some friends over for a movie last night, and the car leaks oil...so I have a nice oil stain sitting there. Any ideas on the best way to clean it up (ie remove the dry stain)?

Also...any ideas on why her car is leaking? It also burns oil (she goes through ~1qt/week, IIRC)..you can smell it when it's running. 1990 Toyota Camry..auto trans.

Edited for clarity : oil stain..it's not wet

Super Clean. Purple jug. Rinse with water. Repeat.

Where's it leaking from? Around the valve cover?

I'm not sure where it's leaking from..I'll have to look sometime this week.

It's not wet..it's just a stain.

Cat litter or saw dust.

Dried kitty puke works well, too. I've never tried it.

If all else fails.. Muriatic Acid.

Cat litter. Then get down and scrub the crap out of it. It may take some work. Oil is hell on concrete (In terms of getting it out)
