Degreaser, industrial strength and a shop vac. Spray the degreaser into the area of the stain and let it sit for a few minutes to break down the oils. Then suck it out with a wet-dry type vac or a shampooer. You may have to repeat a few times and then make sure that the area drie out before you roll all of the windows up. Make sure that you rinse the vac to remove the brake fluid. The best thing to do is to take it to an auto detail shop where they have the degreasers, brushes, and extractors. Most detail shops will do a spot stain like that for around $30 or $40 and they will usually do it without an appointment. Or have your entire car detailed inside and out of for around $100 and up and specify your brake fluid spill. Degreaser probably won't help since DOT3 brake fluid (used in most cars) has no petroleum products in it.. no oil! It is water and alcohol based. It comes out of clothes in the washing machine. Try a carpet shampooer. Brake fluid (dot 3 ) is water souilable wash it using lots of water dry it done---silicone brake fluid on the other hand is another story ---but that fluid is rare
