    Default OT: How do you clean your drive way?

    My other car (Mercedes 300E) is leaking motor oil like . About 1/2 qt a week!! What do you use to clean your drive way? I've tried 409, Orange cleaner, Simple Green and brake cleaner. I need something stronger.

    If you are very bored and want to waste lots of energy use a pressure washer

    3m adheisive remover.... the industrial. Somehow it works.... and great.

    I'd advise, soak it in 3m, throw some sand over it and about 5 minutes late broom away or hose away.

    I have a gravel driveway, so I just roll the stones over. Otherwise, pour oil over the rest of the driveway to match.

    Make sure you carry something to clean up the motorcyslists' blood off the road too. If you knowingly drive a car leaking that much oil - you do so knowing that the consequences include a high risk of death for other road users.

    They call that manslaughter in this country. Murder 2 in the US isn't it?

    I am trying to fix it. I just bought the car last month. Apparently, all Merc 300E of that year have head gasket problem. It's an external leak near the back of the engine. I am using 20w50 oil to slow the leak. Also, sprayed high temp. Copper seal around the leak area trying to seal it from outside. I will try a couple things before I spend US$1000+ to replace the head gasket. Mercedes...sigh.
