The golf's oil separator was blocked after 8 years and 110'000 miles. its froze, and after warming up the car for 15mins, its spewed 2 litres of oil onto concrete print driveway through the only available hole out of sump... Dipstick tube.

Sweep it all up, shovel it into a bucket. Wait for it to thaw, then pour off the oil into a separate container, leaving the sand in the bottom of the bucket. Take oil to a local amenity site and dispose of. Clean drive with one of those concrete drive cleaners you can get in the accessory shop. They are water soluble, so you can rinse it off.

Not sure what you can do with the oil soaked sand. I'm sure someone else will have some suggestions.

I'm assuming you just need to clear up the mess.

Jizer is a water soluble cleaner which is very effective for getting sump oil out of concrete. It's made by the people who produce Swarfega.
