Oil Stain Help

So I've had my 2013 hatchback for just about a year now and all of a sudden the other day I had dark spots all over my back right seat. I thought for sure it was rain and a seal around the A frame had slipped...after a little bit of investigation I found a half full container of engine oil tucked into the "hidden" panel space built into the right side of the car. Said oil has been dripping out into the cushion of that seat and is now soaking through the leather. Does anyone have any ideas about how to get said oil soaked up completely? Thanks in advance!

Corn starch works well for that.

I kind of doubt it, but you can try. Concrete stains can be reduced by scrubbing with products with bleach in them, but I don't believe they can be removed altogether.
