I’ve had a small oil leak on my F150 for awhile that would leave a 4-6” spot after a few days. Finally got around to swapping out the oil pan gasket yesterday and while doing it, I hit the pan with the old oil.🤬
Although it was on a piece of cardboard, it left a good size spot on the driveway. I soaked it up and sprayed brake cleaner to try and dilute it.
I did a search here and online for oil stained concrete and tried several things: Dawn, Simple Green, Zep driveway cleaner, Goof Off driveway cleaner, lacquer thinner, and mineral spirits. Some spots lightened up, but the majority didn’t.
Before coming in this afternoon, I made a brew with everything and sprayed it down to soak overnight. I’ll hose it off in the morning.
Any other ideas?
Edit: I should have replaced the oil pan gasket ages ago, as it wasn’t really that difficult.
