How can i remove engine oil off tarmac?

Sorry guys maybe not the best forum to post. Neighbours complaining as sumps leaking slightly. tried wd40, and degreaser after but seems to have made it bit worse as in stain wise.
Any ideas?

fairy washing up liquid and shed loads of water. use a stiff brush to work it it. then wash off.

A stiff brush and some petrol does the job brill

but leaves petrol residue which in the rain will become slippy as hell.

you see it on the road if your a biker it is seriously slippy.

Great stuff cheers guys. ill give it a go later  8)

Wait until roadworks are in your area, dig out oilstained tarmac, then cadge a shovel or two of tarmac off the contracters.

Or dig it out,ring council complaining of a pothole.They`ll come and do it for you.Jobs a good `un :wink:

I use Persil washing powder and water… and a hard brush… seems to work ok  :dontknow:

any detergent will work. only reason i suggest washing up liquid is it's harmless to the water coarse (pretty much)

Try to give them a year or two notice if possible  

you'll never shift it.   as tarmac soaks up oil and it will be right in their now.  

fairy and a stiff brush may shift whats of the surface but if its old tarmac you'll just make a hole.  as you'll pick some stones out.  a jet wash will rip it to peices.  i'd personally put some daz or kitty litter on it and it should slowly draw it out.  keep it down for as long as is needed could take a week or two to ddraw it out.
