Take it to a quarter car wash and use the high pressure spray to clean things. Even if you can't find one that will let you pull all of the way in, if you can just get the front end up to the space that may be enough for the hose to reach.
...and where would all that grease go? Right onto the drive so the next guy will step in it. Honestly now, get under there with a putty knife and scrap the crud off followed with Simple Green and a bunch of shop towels.
Yep, you are right. All of the quarter car washer stations around here that have engine cleaner and undercarriage cleaner settings just let everything lay on the ground for the next person. Having crud deposited from engine and undercarriage cleaning is what they were designed for. That's why they have large truck cleaning stations.

What they were NOT designed for is for someone to drop grease onto the driveway instead of into the bay where it could more easily be cleaned up and washed into the drain system. There is something disappointing about this for sure.
