oil on drive

I have a tarmac driveway that has had engine oil and steering fluid leaked on it (not from my X5 I might add!). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might remove this please?

Thanks

Smee

Try a strong detergent and (if you're not on a hose ban) a pressure washer on low power (or you'll have no drive!!). Karscher to a detergent that might do it. If under a ban, or no pressure washer then a stiff broom will do.

You can also get a special Swarfega product from Screwfix that does it quite well.
