Try sprinkling cornstarch on the spots with oil let it sit over night. Then I would try a dish soap that's for cutting grease and wipe/wash it down with warm water.

Aerosol hairspray works well on tough stains. Spray the hairspray directly on the stain and wipe away. This may take several swipes so keep at it. It is generally the alcohol that will remove most stains but some of the other ingredients can damage or discolor the leather so be careful.

To remove small oil stains from leather upholstery, rub corn starch briskly into the stain with your fingers until the heat from the friction is felt. That heat loosens the oil and allows the corn starch to absorb the oil before the leather can. Vacuum or brush the powder off. Repeat until the stain is gone. Larger stains will require professional treatment.
Hopefully this will help you! Good Luck!

Carefully blot the stain with degrease and then wash away with a mild dish soap and warm water.
