Hi Mary, I've had good luck using white vinegar and lemon juice in a 1:1 ratio. Apply the mixture to the sttain and let it "sit" for about 1/2 hour. Apply more to the area if it dries out quickly. Scrub with a hard bristle brush and rinse. Repeat if very stubborn stain remains. Hope this works for you as it has for me!

Here are two methods to remove stains from concrete: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awrDj3N5xiw&t=195s
One of these should work
WD-40. Did a leaky oil pan leave a big ugly spot in the middle of your concrete driveway? To get rid of an unsightly oil spot, just spray it with a generous amount of WD-40 and then hose it down with water.
Soda (Coca Cola). Here’s how to remove oil stains from concrete drive-ways and garage floors: Gather up a small bag of cat litter, a few cans of cola, a stiff bristle broom, bucket, laundry detergent, bleach, eye protection, and rubber gloves. Cover the stain with a thin layer of cat litter and brush it in. Sweep up the litter and pour cola to cover the area. Work the cola in with a bristle broom, and leave the cola for about twenty minutes. Mix 1/4 cup laundry detergent with 1/4 cup bleach in 1 gallon (3.7 liters) warm water and use it to mop up the mess.
Oven Cleaner. Get those unsightly grease, oil, and transmission fluid stains off your concrete driveway or garage floor. Spray them with Easy Off No Fume Oven Cleaner in the BLUE can. Let it settle for 5-10 minutes, then scrub with a stiff brush and rinse it off with your garden hose at its highest pressure. Severe stains may require a second application.
Kool-Aid. Nasty rust stains on your concrete? Mix unsweetened lemonade Kool-Aid with hot water. Scrub and the rust stain should come right out.
Baking Soda. Salt and commercial ice-melt formulations can stain — or actually eat away — the concrete around your house. For an effective, but completely innocuous, way to melt the ice on your steps and walkways during those cold winter months, try sprinkling them with generous amounts of baking soda. Add some sand for improved traction.
Ammonia. Tired of those annoying discolorations on your concrete work? To get rid of them, scrub with 1 cup ammonia diluted in 1 gallon (3.7 liters) water. Hose it down well when you’re done.
Lemon juice and white vinegar - 1:1. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then scrub with a hard-bristle brush.
Unsweetened Kool Aid-lemonade flavor, add it to water and scrub the rust stains out.
Thank you for posting this. I was about to post the same question! If you find one of these works, please let me know. My ex husband left a rusty chain on our front porch for a couple of days and it etched and rusted the area. I'm about ready to stain it if I can't get the rust out.
CLR or Rustoleum Rust Dissolver.
Rustoleum makes a very good rust remover.
