My driveshaft popped out slightly the other night and has left a huge leak on my drive. I wiped it up with kitchen towel and then have tried scrubbing at it with hot water and flash but when its dried there is still a patch and it stinks!

Any of you lot got an easy way of removing it.. Really need to get it up before my mum gets back off hol or she'll kill me lol

Scrub it with petrol.
If that doesn't work, Gunk to a driveway and path cleaner which removes oil. you wet the drive, pour the shit on, work it in with a brush/broom then wash it off after a while.

actually the gunk might be cheaper than petrol

i cleaned my parents drive where my sump leaked on, and there was a visible clean streak that i'd done which put the rest of it to shame.
