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?

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:

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

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.
