Oil dry or kitty litter will get the bulk of it off. Next step is to scrub with TSP (trisodium phosphate is available at any Lowe's, hardware store, etc). I have even used liberal doses of dishwashing liquid to cut the oil. It is unlikely that you will be able to completely eliminate the stain. The object is to get as much of it as possible before you apply a new coat of driveway sealer.
Good luck with your problem.

do the speedy dry thing, grind it in with your boots, let the dust sit for a day. then sweep it up, it should be thrown out in the trash, so we don't pollute. buy some castrol super clean, from an auto parts or hardware store, spray it on the driveway, brush well with a broom, rinse with a scrub, rinse again. i've seen a cleaner at the home depot by zep, i haven't tried it so i don't know how diluted it is, purple ..... something. what you are looking for in any cleaner for this type of job, is one with blue butyl in it. i mix it 50/50 with hot water, then put it in a garden sprayer, i do the engine with this and the driveway, too. you should wear gloves when using it since it will take the oil out of your hands. also, don't let it dry on car paint or glass, it will leave white marks when it dries. mixed 50/50 it will clean tires with a sponge and light scrubbing, it sucks the road grime right out of them, but you'll want to put some tire shine on when you're done. if this doesn't get your stain out, you can try it full strength in a squirt bottle. if that doesn't get the stain out, nothing will. good luck, hope this works for you.
