Oil on leather seats help

I have a new Honda CRV with light beige leather seats. Somehow I have managed to get oil on one of the rears. How can I get the stain off without ruining the leather????

you can try and steam it out or get it re coloured by a leather specialist

I've used brake cleaner on upholstery several times with great success(and the carpet in the lounge) Haven't tried it on leather so can't be held responsible .

After being conned into parting with £40 for a leather care kit when we bought our lounge kit, my wife always used Stardrops. It worked a treat for cleaning three leather settees for eight years.
You pays your money, you takes your choice.

Also depends on the quality of the leather.

Thanks for the tips guys. Will try some of them on the underside bits to start with. God, I'm wrecking this car, got scratches on the inside carrying copper and ali etc. Nevermind the GTR is coming on well.
