Ok, this falls into the category of "use common sense", but it ain't common sense if you've never seen it before.
Lots of talk about spraying brake cleaner or Simple Green on the engine block to remove all the leaked oil. My question is how does one do this without making an enormous mess? And how does one clean it up?
I don't have a street where I can park the car to just let the goop fall where it may (and not good environmentally anyway). I have a gravel driveway that will absorb everything and look terrible for years afterward if I get oil all over it.
I guess I could put down newspapers even if that can be a challenge with even the slightest breeze, but are they sufficiently absorbant to suck up everything? Plastic sheeting?
ya got me -- I'm sure lots of folks have their own solution; please share them!
