Gunk do a path cleaner, I'm not sure whether it's suitable for a tarmac drive though.  :-/
I have found that gunk and tarmac dont get on too well, longer term. 

By design, gunk dissolves oil and, likewise by design, tarmac is oil based......

As said, longer term....   ;)

I thought so

There was a thread on this ages ago, someone tried cat litter, although I can't remember what type sadly.

I remember it being mentioned last year instead of salt for sorting snow/ice on paths.  Also ebery one concluded was a total mess and waste of time.

Pour neat Fairy Liquid on the oil patch and just leave it to soak in for a couple of days, when you get some rain the oil will dissapear, guarenteed!

There will be a man passing sometime today in a beat-up flatbed. If you ask him nicely, he will do you a whole new drive for £50 :y
