My engine doesn't leak, but there is a small leak somewhere in ym tranny and I have yet to fix it. I think it's the front seal!

Every time I change oil or fill up. Somehow I end up either missing the hole or knocking the drain container or doing something that causes an oil spill.

Gasoline seems to work well. Soak it up and burn it.

You can get oil eater bacteria that will eat the oil spilled on concrete, as well as some sort of acid that etches/bleaches the oil spill traces out of concrete.

The gasoline trick would be great if it works well. I haven't tried it, personally.

Mine leaks some out of the crank seal. That's on the list of things to fix.
