Hubby's a self taught mechanic & said - Sand to absorb majority of it & then brush away. Do it twice and then use a mix of fairy &washing powder. rub into it. Generally fairy & washing powder is enough. It won't remove it fully only a mechanics powerful cleaner will do that

Works treats weirdly enough. Used on oil in my drive and it diluted it to absolute hell and washed away easier

Cement to soak up what you can, then brick acid the rest.

I personally would use a solvent such as Thinners, paint stripper mixed and put on the whole spill liberally. leave for about 30 minutes then use a high pressure spray! tah-dah! that should work!
