Oil will decompose over time, but it is a slow process. Unless you did spread it very light it likely will show up as still present. If there were repeat as well as heavy applications, you don't need to wait for the fat lady to sing, e.g. it's over. We just sold a farm and they did similar drillings, but did not drill the driveway. Used oil was repeatly spread over our driveway to keep down the dust. We never dumped oil anywhere else. This practice was also commonly used by the county on gravel roads to control dust in the 50's and early 60's. I believe they changed to Calcium Chloride in the late 60's or early 70's. I don't see how you can be singled out for spreading used oil to control driveway dust, when it was a common practice used even by the government. If the city used the practice, I bet they will not even consider drilling the driveway.
