Not that I'm one of those enviormental earthy types but this stuff works very good. I personaly had my doubts about it because from experience, just about everything that is " so-called-green" doesn't work for s**t.

Non toxic and it will even peal dried spray paint off concrete, I use it on just about everything including a 1/2" of 20 yr old dried crusty oil on an engine block. It will even pull the grease stains out of that new pair of jeans the wife nagged at you not to wear in the garage without wrecking them.

for small oil stains I use gasoline , let it set a few minutes and get it up with oil absorbant, not real enviromentily freindly but neither is my 8.5 MPG truck either so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks for all the advice, from the environmentally conscious to the slash and burn types.
Carb Cleaner!! Couple of applications while blotting with paper towels. Seems to be all gone. Then I used simple green to remove the last vestiges. Luckily the brake fluid was pretty clean, so it was just the oil and not the contaminates

Thanks again to all those who chimed in

No way, she was the one who insisted I buy this truck and my other toy (05 Mustang GT vert). She lets me spend time and money on these trinkets, as lond as I do the projects around the house she needs as well
