If its liquid oil I just put down cement dust and let it soak up then sweep it up later. If its really bad you could try scrubbing in swarfega then hosing it off.

If its quite an old patch thats soaked in on concrete,tip the contents of an old car battery on it, let it froth away for a bit and hose off, i know its not enviromental but if cleaned off with plenty of water its ok.

I find some multi surface cleaner, a sweeping brush and a jet wash does the trick
