Serious or not? My bike is dripping maybe 5 or 10 drops of oil after every ride from the gasket for the shift side engine cover... is there a product that will suck oil out of brick?

If there is a puddle, absorb it with kitty litter or Oil-dri.  If it's soaked in, something like kerosene or brake parts cleaner should dissolve it

Power washer. Rent one and clean up everything around you. Driveway, walkway, garage floor.

I'll try kitty litter, a powerwasher might dig up my driveway... also I just came in from a ride. My idle has been to low for awhile so I tried to adjust it after the bike was good and warm. The problem was that once the idle adjust was set to 1200rpm, the throttle hangs big time, now if the idle is set to low (so it stalls without a little added throttle),it DOESNT hang. I thought the idle didnt mess with any carb settings - it just controls the throttle stop. Why would this be??

A simpler(?) way of cleaning up the driveway would be a degreaser product. I work in food service and the stuff from my job rocks! You can also try Grease Lightning or Simple Green. Pour some of it on, if the stain isnt recent leave it for awhile and rinse away with some hot water.  And if your cheap, Tide powder usually works well with recent oil spills. O0

If you're cheap, then what are you doing buying Tide powder? :)
