Hi,
If it's not a huge amount of oil then an old army trick may work depending on how long the oil has been there ; 
place a piece of tracing paper on the oil.
Heat a domestic iron to the point where it is on maximum temperature and STEAM the tracing paper pressing the iron down firmly.
Done repeatedly the pieces of tracing paper will lift and absorb the oil.
That's the most economical way , the alternative is to use brick acid from ebay or amazon.
Good luck

Any oil spillage should be soaked up, not rubbed as this will spread it over a larger area, as well as driving the contaminant into the concrete. If an oil stain persists, the surface can be scrubbed with a strong detergent and then washed away with hot water.

Washing up liquid and allowed to soak in... then heavy rain. Or... petrol which often will dilute the oil.

Detergent – a simple household cleaning item can be effective at removing grease and oil. Leave on the stain for 15-30 minutes. Oven cleaner – known for tackling some of the toughest stains, we recommend pouring oven cleaner promptly on the oil spill and leaving it there for 15 minutes.
