At home depot they sale concrete paint natural concrete or you can also paint it difrent color to do a contrast of your house
First buy some cheap clay cat liter and spread on the oil spots and let sit a couple days to absorb what is sitting on the surface. Then sweep up. I use vinegar and baking soda and scrub, but you may need a commercial degreaser sold at any auto parts store. When clean, purchase a drip pan to place in that spot so you do not need to continually have to clean the concrete. Back in the day, my dad used to burn it off - not a recommended practice today! Good luck.

Good luck!
Not sure how large the stain is, but Valspar® Oil Stain Absorber is an option. It absorbs the oil, and turns into a powder that you sweep up. Make sure to follow the instructions and it may take some of the color out of the concrete. Good luck!
I put cat litter on any oil stain a guest leaves when parked in my driveway. I leave it on a couple days and it works pretty good. I just sweep off the litter and looks pretty good.
Thanks to all the responses! I will give one or another a try!
