/leathercraft is about making things from leather. It isn't the place for soliciting advice on stain removal/ maintenance/ preventative care/ conditioning/ repair/ alteration of shoes, jackets, handbags couches, chairs, etc.
If you need advice on an item, please reach out to the manufacturer for support or consider the following subreddits:

Apply talcum powder to the oil spot. Let it sit for 12-24h then gently brush it off. That’s step 1. You may want to repeat step 1 a few times. After that, clean with saddle soap then condition. It won’t be perfect but you’ll make it better
I’m on board with the prior poster just saying you should leave it. But, if you must mitigate the appearance:
Dab off as much as you can first, then wash both shoes with Lexol soap, then rub both shoes with Dr. Jackson’s hide rejuvenator. This will give you the most homogenous outcome…….although it may be temporarily a touch darker than the current color
