Fuel filter leaking. Tarmac drive damaged

    Got the diesel filter in my wife's car replaced in a local garage a couple of weeks ago but it appears they didn't do a very good job as it's started to leak and my (tarmac) driveway has a progressively growing stain. I was away for a few weeks and noticed it when I came back. She hadn't noticed it unfortunately.

    I brought it back to the garage and they tightened it up but to no avail and the leak is still occurring. I washed the diesel away as much as possible with large amounts of detergent but I wasn't obviously quick enough and the tar has started melting.

    I'm bringing it back (again) today to get it resolved properly. But my question is, how can I stop the tar from breaking up more? Is there a repair kit of some sort available?

    At the very least, put something underneath the car to contain the diesel until the leak is fixed...
