Clean it with TSP and let it dry. Then rub powdered drywall into the stain and let it set for a few days. Repeat with the drywall until the stain is gone. This might take two or three months to get rid of the stain. Ive heard Portland cement also works for this. Ooops, this is for cleaning a stain on concrete, dont know what it would do on asphalt.
