You are lucky if it was leaking that much. I left a mile long trail from
a failed oil pressure hose a few years ago. The boys spotted it. Dad,
we're leaking oil. Yeah, we always leak oil. No, Dad, we're leaking a
LOT of oil. A nice dark line down the street and up our driveway. We moved.
Oh, you could wait until one of those young people comes by, selling the
miracle stain remover. Offer to buy a bottle if they can remove the
trail of oil.
