Brake clean should help, never let it soak in for years before using that though.

I have cleaned 100s of driveways in my past pressure washing business. I never told the customer it would be gone. Oil soaks into the concrete. Let me know if something really works.

Dawn detergent or other grease dish detergent helps if scrubbed with a stiff brush

Buy another truck.

Tide and kitty litter. I usually work the litter in with my boot though, scuff it in real good...let the litter scrub using your boot/foot. I've seen some use a hammer to smash it in....whatever works for ya! Any kind of degreaser though....then litter.

The toilet bowl cleaner "The Works" is awesome for removing blood and rust stains from concrete. Never tried it on oil though.

...Blood?

Well of course...accidents happen lol. FYI, hydrogen peroxide and/or bleach is a much cheaper way to clean that up.

Truck leaked small spots of oil over the course of a year. What is the best way to get the stains out?

I tried kitty litter then a commercial strain remover, but didn't really work and left white spots. I do plan to pressure wash after ward.

I used AJAX on a sunny day. Soaked up the oil and the bleach in it lightened the stain. Took a scrub brush and hot water to it.
