And coolant got all over the damn place,the gasket did it job but as it came loose...yea... Some on the belts, I wiped it off best as I could and I have a small puddle under the car. I was wondering what was the best way to clean the ground of car fluids.

yeah, i live in a neighborhood where you get fined for working on your cars on your own property or if your driveway is unappealing.

i make friends with the kitty litter.

Oil Eater is the brand name, and a pressure washer or a hose with a strong spray nozzle. Me and my buddy did everything you can think of in his driveway with 5-6 different s13's (caked on grease everywhere) and we used it every time, It will clean any kind of fluid you spill and its biodegradable so your neighbors wont flip. I would suggest getting a big drip pan (like 3"-4") and putting a layer of kitty litter on that, saves alot of trouble when you can just dump the litter after your done and your drive way stays super clean if nothing ever hits it. :rawk:

^^HMO? I think you mean "HOA"...


You must be drunk.

(I am.)


I use a product called "Oil Dry". It comes in 50 pound bags, and it is more effective than most types of kitty litter.

basically, you need to take care of them right when they are spilled

once they are set in the ground.. your fucked, at least from my experience

let the neighbors cat drink it up... cleans up two birds with one stone.. keeps that sob from sleeping on the roof and shitting in your yard and then with one final act of usefulness, clean your driveway.
