sorry to hear about that. iv been there with when my mechanic was servicing one of my cars. he was changing the oil and left the oil to drain unfortunatly he misplaced the container and the oil ran for 14 meters down my very expensive newly paved drive. i just got my drive re-done because i couldnt be bothered trying to get it out!

but heres some tips i found that you could try to get it out with not sure if they'l work!

If the stain is fresh and there is still unabsorbed oil on the surface, put down cat litter or saw dust to soak it up. Clean that up after a few days.

after you have done this Try houshold bleach first. Dilute it according to the instructions on the container. Pour it on the stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then scrub and rinse with water.

If that doesn't work, sprinkle dishwashing detergent on the stain and scrub with very hot or boiling water. Repeat this a few times and see what happens.

A last resort for concrete paving oil stains is tri-sodium phosphate (TSP). This is a powder that is sold in most hardware and home improvement stores. Mix one cup with a gallon of hot water, pour it on the stain and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Then scrub with a stiff bristled brush and rinse with water. Repeat if necessary.

hope this helps

Relax, it's oil, it's not going to stay. You should spray it away with a water hose, but I'm not sure if you can use it on a brand new driveway, as the sand still needs some time to lock the individual stones…

My advice: try to escape that angry dad for a couple of days, then gently spray away the oil on the driveway (if he didn't already) but be careful the stones don't come loose.
