Trans fluid on new concrete

The Luke · Dec 5, 2019

So my father in law bought a 2001 s10 off a friend of his who's dad recently passed. Snagged it for 1k. Truck is immaculate. 80k miles. A pile of dealer receipts.
Been driving it for two months and pulled into his new house the other day to get out and see what looks like a murder scene under the truck, down the driveway and the last 100' of road. Trans line split and dumped everything. Luckily no permanent damage done.
But the driveway is AWFUL. White concrete. He immediately drowned it all in kitty litter. About to pressure wash it. Any other suggestions?

Hot pressure washer and purple power works good

Some simple green or dawn dish detergent (blue stuff) all from sams club. Let it sit there for 30-60 minutes use a stiff brush...and hose it up or power wash it.

Buy a bucket of the cheapest ATF, spray full coverage over all the rest of the concrete. It'll be a nice custom color and really shine when it rains...

You will be amazed. Just pressure wash it. It will sudds up and will actually clean. I will be a good a new. It will shine for a few days but then go away.

Purple power and a pressure washer, a steam cleaner works better if you got it.

That reminds me of when I split my transmission in two wheeling. I drove it back to my buddies apartment about a mile away. We called it the trail of tears. It was visible on the asphalt for years.

Pour gas on it and let it evaporate may take a few times. No smoking

Believe it or not, just take a propane torch and gently start burning it off in sections. Don't hold the torch in one place, just some close sweeps with it. It's a petroleum product so it will burn off. I use the technique all the time.
