Re: leather and oil
All i can find online to suggest is the followin:
Dry corn starch on the area, leave for several hours- vacuum off with soft attatchment, repeat until lightens- dont use liquid, if the oil darkened you have a very open leather, and dish soap is utterly the wrong pH for leather.

Re: leather and oil
Yeah, I agree ...way way back, worked with a shoe cobbler (that was so cool, a lost art) a dry powder to absorb is about the only way.
But mostly, how pissed was she?

Re: leather and oil
I use Murphy's oil soap ,and a toothbrush, but if they are seude your screwed.......i've done restorations on antique chaps and saddles and it always works. If the oil stain won't come out , you can try to match it by using a oil based dye.
