The walker engine let go today and while limping back to the trailer (non knowing i was leaking oil) i left a trail down a six week old concrete walk. (which i installed) The oil was clean so the stains are not to bad but i have to get rid of them completly. Any suggestions on how to do that would be grately appreciated. Thank You

Kitty litter, buy a cheap bag of cat litter. Put it down where the oil is and grind it into the concrete with your shoe. After a minute or so of grinding sweep up. The oil will be gone.

All good ideas above, I have tried Dawn dish detergent or Liquid Tide full strength. I also have put powered dry mix concrete right on the spot. The concrete binds some of the oil and lifts it out. The rest eventually reforms onto the concrete. I do this instead of the kitty litter, unless I scare a cat with my Walker.:p
