Do you have the YES fabric? I've heard detergent and water will work. If not, I know Coke destroys petroleum products. I always use that on my wrenching clothes and have seen it take out axle grease, 90w and motor oil.

OK - CAUTION/WARNING/ATTEMPT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Now that THAT'S out of the way...
A couple of my cousins were real wrenchers back when I was a little kid, and used to get their brand-new clothes covered in oil and all sorts of crap in the garage. Their solution (I sh*t you not!): Take off the clothing, spray it very heavily with aerosol hairspray, then light it on fire. Only the hairspray would ever burn, and it would take all the oil, etc., with it! Again, I'm not kidding - I've seen this work with my own 2 eyes.
Of course, if you're going to attempt this, I would HIGHLY recommend that you have the top off, and take precautions not to accidentally catch any other part of the seat on fire... ideally, you'd be able to remove the cover, but a previous post says it can't be done without removing the whole seat...

Berg I do auto detailing on weekends for my clients, try to use WOOLITE fabric detergent, mix ratio is 10:1 (10 parts water to 1 part detergent) put in spray bottle, mist down stain then work in with an apholstry brush, you can use a shop vac to extract dirty residue, repeat process if neccesary. Beleive me i've done interiors with floor mats that were tatally saturated with oil and came out like new! Hope this helps.

Use a some kind of oil removing soap and with hot hot water, then get your hands on dry vac. What ever Soap you put on the seat must be wasted out with water or the soap acts as a magnet for dirt and you with see the spot come back in a week or so. Example of this is when you buy one of thoses spot clears from the store and then the spot comes back in a few weeks.

Yikes! So let me get this straight....
Despite the fact of even suggesting to try this in the first place, you highly recommend to take the top off?
Is it really too much of a hassle to remove the seat? No wonder the Darwin Awards exist.....
No offense, but wow!
