go to the home depot and pick up some oil absorbing product. They make products specifically for taking care of this problem.

go to Autozone. They have some driveway cleaner made especially for that type of stuff. My commercial customers buy it to clean their shop floors.

sand or catbox sand works pretty well to get up the wet oil.
