Might try spreading a layer of dishwasher detergent (I use cheap dry stuff), over the stain. Will draw moisture and probably break down oils after a few days, then you can wash off with water.

Forever. But it's not a bad smell. You get used to it.

I might get some real nice looking girls to stand around in your shop and talk with you, of course that would just improve the scenery unless you can get them to scrub the floor for you. Really, I did this once on some 1 year old gas and I just let it air out real good for a day and then used a hose to spray off the concrete. I dont know how bad yours smells though.

Might take a week or more. Don't ask how I know this.
