Getting oil off concrete?

Getting oil off concrete?
Eldest has done an engine transpalnt on my drive, Meg Turbo into Clio 197.
The result is an oil stain where he left the oil sump plug loose for some unknown reason.
Anyway, given that decent stuff like Gunk and Jizer are now just another form of shampoo, what works?
I had thought of building a ring of sand round it, filling with petrol and igniting?

If colored paviors are involved , proprietary drive cleaner/degreaser detergent, trade version if possible, soak, followed by a scrub and a powerwash, repeat til faded. Watch out for fading on treated patch, allow to dry to check dry finish.
if just concrete, follow the above with some brick cleaner, scrubbed and hosed.

Pour some petrol over it and leave it to soak in for about 5 mins then get a stiff broom and some soapy water (fairy liquid is best as it breaks down grease) then pour the soapy water on and scrub at it with the broom, itll come straight out

I had something which looked like oil on my block paved drive.
I poured half a bottle of fairy liquid on it, based on a website i'd stumbled across suggested I leave it for about 3 days.
I got bored waiting, and scrubbed and washed after two days.
Stain is pretty much all gone.
I'd read about pouring coke on it, but the comments on whether it was good or not were very mixed.
