The clay type, not the clumping stuff. The cheapest you can find is what you are looking for. Spread some on the oil, put on some smooth soled shoes and grind it in. Put on some Twist music if you are so inclined. The clay that the liter is made from will soak up the oil and put it out of the concrete. You can buy stuff labeled as oil sorbant, but it the same thing.
