This may sound weird but it works. This is how we got
oil up in the motorpool when I was in the army. Buy a
bag of Kitty litter and sprinkle it on the oil spots
and grind it in with your foot. You may have to grind
it in for a little while, depending on how bad the spots
are but it does work. Good luck

Kitty litter works pretty good. What I've found though is that I can get a huge bag of Oil Dri for the same price.

I got the medication for this matter : Go to Lowes (or maybe Home Depot may also have it) and look in the deriveway seal section: there is a driveway cleaner ,for oil spots.It works great,even on the old spots.I used it before I sealed my driveway,and it does work great. Kitty litter may do fine,but the spot is still there later.Good luck.
