Once you pick up any volume of oil, Brake Cleaner works great in removing
the oil stain. Spray on and rub with a paper towel.
When I had a particularly leaky Spridget, I made a frame of 1x2 furring
strips around a 2' by 4' piece of scrap paneling and cut a piece of
cardboard to fit inside the frame. It will accept quite a bit of volume,
not leak oil through onto the concrete, won't blow in the wind, edges won't
curl. It is long enough to catch any leaks from the front seal all the way
back to the rear trans seal. You could even make it reach the diff if you
wanted to. Depends on how much of your garage floor you (or your wife) want
to keep protected.
