My XJR has developed a massive leakage of power steering fluid. My
local garage can fix it (£300.00) but my driveway is covered in
stripes and pools where the fluid has leaked. Any ideas on how to get
rid of the stains?

Solvents such as kerosene, strong detergents, scrub brushes, and an
absorbent such as "Oil-Dri" or some varieties of kitty litter will get most
of it out. Results vary a lot depending on the concrete. If there is a heavy
stain, I would scrub it down with kerosene and liberally apply absorbent.
When everything seems dry, sweep it all up and use TSP, dishwasher
detergent, paintbrush cleaner, or a strong laundry detergent with hot water
and scrub again. Rinse thoroughly, apply absorbent, and allow several days
to dry. Repeat if needed.

There are also some products sold at hardware and building supply stores
especially for this purpose. Follow directions carefully. Protect yourself
and any plants, etc. from the chemicals.
