You might get some other (more easily pronouncable

Try this - Oil stain on block paving.
There are links to other threads there, too. I'm off for a look, too - we had the builders in and his van has dripped on our paving.

I used GUNK engine cleaner (available from Halfords/Garages). Worked it in with an old toothbrush then cleaned it off with hot water.
