There is a cleaner called Greased Lightning. I have had luck with this on dried oil stains (small like drip from workmans' trucks, etc.). Spray a little on the oil stain and scrub w/ a wire brush (for driveways) or a felt pad (for smoother concrete like a garage floor).
TSP does work, but phosphates are bad for the environment. I would suggest this, though, if the stain is large.

Cat box litter, either regular clay or clumping, is great for absorbing liquid spills, especially oil of any kind, on cement or concrete floors. Pour it on the spot and then grind it into the the spot with your foot. Leave it to allow it to absorb all of the oil that it can. Then sweep it up. Repeat the process if necessary.

I love www.actcleaners.com
A leaky transmission in a rototiller......all winter.......no problem for this stuff. Well, the concrete came out too clean, wanted to do the whole floor afterward.
Friend had an old clunker car. After it was towed away, she tried kitty litter, didn't work at all well. Took her some ACT, spot gone, gone gone.

Yes you can. If you take unused cat litter and dump it over the spill till it's covered and then crush it with you foot it will come up. The litter will absorb the oil. I know this because my husband was a mechanic in the military and he is now one for Sears. When I cleaned for the military when families moved out of housing this is what we did. It works.

I'm sure Home depot has a cleaner, But I have heard people say the Cat Litter helps. They say sprinkle it on and leave it , it is suppose to soak up the oil stain.

You can use sawdust to dry the stain, then wash with normal washing up liquid & hot water,
