My car leaks oil in my driveway and I know that cat litter will help but it doesn't take away the stain. What can take the stain away?

I found the following at the Q&A section of the link below. I hope it helps!! They also had similar instructions for asphalt.
How can I remove oil stains from my garage floor and driveway?
Go to your auto parts store and get something like Ulttrasorb (made by Motlan) - which you sprinkle on oil or grease spills. It absorbs it all, if you leave it there a few days. Then just sweep it up. There are numerous products specifically for this application - and they all do a great job, and are cheap. They are essentially compounds of very absorbent materials such as dried clay. Note: To get the area 'extra clean,' after the largest part of the spill is absorbed, sweep up the dirty absorber you selected and put some fresh down. Now, use your foot to crush the absorber into smaller, finer granules. Leave that there for a day or two. The finer particles get deep into the cracks and crevices and really do the job!

Go to your local hardware store or auto parts and buy a spray called....Degreaser. ask the clerk .spray it on the affected area and let set for about 15 minutes then get a rough brush and scrub it a little then rinse with the hose. re spray and a little once over and rinse again. Put the litter down again but replace it often so that you dont have a big pile of oily cat litter.

Berryman's B-12 spray. Spray a small area and saturate then immediately blot with an absorbant paper towel. Repeat until the stain is lightened or entirely gone.

I used to work for a call center/mail order magazine center in Southern Westchester, NY. There was an account for a company called "Whatever Works". I remember selling alot of this stuff called "Pour and Restore". Supposedly you pour it on the spot, let it dry, then just sweep up the stuff that's left and the oil spot is gone... I don't have a driveway but my uncle does, he uses it in his garage, and said it works... Maybe it'll help.

Try Coke! The Coca Cola Co. uses it to clean their truck engines.
Let it sit for a couple of days. Can't hurt.
