After a couple of years the rain will wash it off. Nothing to worry about.

However, if you want to wash it off. There is nothing better for degreasing than Fairy Liquid or hair shampoo. If you mix some up after wiping the worst up then you can scrub it off and hose it down using a nice big brush.

I just blamed it on nextdoor if I spilt any oil...

or the other option I used was attack it with a blowtorch afterwards!
