Removing Oil Stains

[macgee]

My son inlaw has parked his car on my driveway which is block sets and has dripped oil in two places each about 10cm round.
How can I remove it without leaving an obvious difference in texture?

It'd be wonderful if someone does come up with an answer but I think once you have oil seeped into something it isn't removable. Sounds to me that you need some of those oil chomping bacteria they use on oil spills at sea.

Or, of course, you could get the stained blocks replaced, assuming they're a common style.

Try some Jeyes fluid, gets most off, leave for about 15 minutes then hose or jet was off.

thanks everyone for your suggestions.
I contacted a professional cleaning company and they suggested I spray the area with 'GUNK' which is an engine degreasant and then scrub in lightly with a stiff brush and flush away with ckean water.
I bought the spray at Halfords and did this yeterday and hey presto... This morning no trace of stain and no texture loss!

Pass it on...
