Removing Engine Oil from Leather Seats

Banshee · 20-11-2013, 11:58

I've brought two front leather seats from James last night for £40 and I'm well happy with them

However, the passengers one on closer inspection after cleaning all the dust off has half an oil footprint on it, it's someone who wears New balance trainers

The oil is certanly not fresh and has soaked into the leather and marked it, I have tried washing up liquid and hot water and that has made it fade but it's still quite noticeable, I've done a google and seen all the stupid answers like buy this £650 cream or rub some hair in it.

Any sensible ideas guys? I know we will get there together in the end
