Without undue delay, I would spread kitty litter or oil dry over the area to quickly absorb the oil. Once the large puddle, if there is one, is absorbed, sweep up the material. Then spread another round and grind it into the surface with your shoe to work it into the cracks, crevasses, and fissures. Let it sit for a bit. Sweep it up and repeat as necessary. After this is over, some warm water and dawn dishwashing detergent will get out what will come out.

Hope this helps.
