My old car leaked gobs of oil. What's the best way to handle it?
There is a cement floor with gray paint on it...so I hate to use strong solvents.

I've heard to dump kitty litter (the kind with clay in it) on top of it, let it sit for a little while then sweep up the litter and that should absorb a good amount of it.

Glad to hear it! It's one of those things I've always heard worked but I've never had a chance to try it, so it's good to know it actually does work!
