Smear some dog **** over it. Then you won't smell the transmission fluid anymore.

Is it ATF or gear oil?

You could try washing it with mineral spirits.

That crap poured all over my arm once. It's funk was in my skin for days no matter how much I tried to scrub it out. I'm talking Silkwood post-radiation exposure scrubbing. It'll stop stinking when it's good and ready.

That's the way a garage is supposed to smell. My buddy had a his rear end go out on his car in highschool, goes the junk yard and gets a new one, throws it in his back seat hanging out a side window, it leaked, that car smelled like gear oil forever LOL

Try this, pour paint thinner over it and then scrub it with a broom, then throw some dishwashing soap and a little water and scrub it again so you got a big puddle of ****, then throw on some kitty litter to soak it all up and let it sit for a day... Then clean up the mess and put dishwashing soap on it again with a little water and scrub it one more time and rinse it out with the garden hose.. that should get rid of it...



or you could tear out that patch of cement and then fill the hole..

Go to a place that supplies shops and get some wash for the floor.

Usually a powder and you add some water.

Maybe a janitorial supply place might have a floor wash/degreaser.
