You can cover the oil with cat litter and it will soak the oil up. Then you can dispose of the cat litter!
Also, talk to an adult about the leak and encourage them to get the leak fixed by a mechanic.

A typical car has about 4 quarts of oil in it. A single quart of oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of water! So all the oil in a single car could potentially pollute 1 million gallons of water!

Small amounts of oil can pollute huge amounts of water. If oil gets into our waterways it will spread over the surface in a thin layer which will prevent oxygen from getting to plants and animals in the water. Oil can:
-harm animals and insects
-prevent photosynthesis in plants
-disrupt the food chain
-drain into the soil and contaminate plants

Oil also takes a long time to remove.

Oil from vehicles is a major pollution problem. In a big city, like Austin, there are a ton of cars, which means there is a ton of oil in our watersheds. If oil or gas leaks out of a vehicle, it will immediately impact the waterways when it mixes with water. Only 1 drop of oil can pollute 25 gallons of water!
