does it matter if it rains during the night?

Fish.
Get some raw fish, rub it all over your drive, all over the car, all over your face, dont wash it off, the oil will be gone no problems.
I swear.
Rotten fish works best.
Or stand there beating one off on the driveway, spunk all over the oil, that removes it, you cant do it at night either, must be in broad daylight for the sunlight to react with it to remove the oil
Go on, try it

i was pulling a 3i to bits in the garages and had a few pathces of oil on the floor,an old lady came up to me and told me cheap cola can remove the oil,obviously expecting me to be cleaning the oil up,i never tried it but it may be worth a try to see if she was right

Don't leave it too long, when you get a pressure washer on it when it's soaked in, it'll rip the driveway up, I speak from experience!
(and it's a decent washer, and no, Seamus and his merry band didn't do it either!)

Try brick acid, available from any builders merchants, rub in with a stiff brush, let sit for a while , rinse and repeat until you gain the result your after. Takes a little time, but it works. Wear gloves and dont get it in your eyes!!

it did a mint job, came up like new and stayed there I think Wickes may well do it.
