I sopped up as much as I could withoil-absorbent pads from myoil

the bad news. I want to sell my house in the next 2 months and I'm
sure that somesmellremains, and that I cant evensmellit anymore.
Any ideas for ridding the crawlspace and house of thesmell?

I will suggest contracting one of the fire/flood recovery contractors.
They have equipment designed to remove odors and have experience with these
kind of problems. I wonder if your home owner's policy might cover the
cost?

Ha! I called my insurance co and they said no, because the spill didnt
occur IN my house. if IN my crawlspace isnt IN my house, I dont know
what is!

The smell is getting better but its still noticeable to me, and thats
bad news. I'll have to make some calls.
