hydraulics in cold weather

Clean what I could and throw it in a dumpster then kick gravel over it. What do you do every place your auto drips fluids on the ground?

As to the car, back when I was running 2-stroke diesels, I got pretty good at preventing leaks. And I keep my cars on pavement, but understand oil dripped will likely end up in streams. I once bought a pressure washer to clean my truck. Used a few times, noticed rainbows in the gravel, sold it and went back to using a commercial site, paid them to take cleanup costs. (This is 1 of the less discussed benefits of electric vehicles)
I do not have the solution for oil sprayed on a site, but do know I would not be happy if I pulled in and oil was all over.

You can't make this **** up ! My friend owns a sawmill/treating plant and during one state environmental inspection the lady inspector fined him because she found a millwright replacing a bad hydraulic hose that had ruptured and fluid was on the ground where he was working. She then tells him he could better control the dust on his plants dirt drives by spraying oil. The environment folks can be abserd

I know it's insane! Look what's poured on the roads to make a chip seal surface. Too many out their having to justify their jobs.

All oil is not the same. What was sprayed on quarry roads, and what used for sealing is pretty solid at normal outside temps.
