Default Paint on leather seats

I had a factory job last summer and my buddy and I got oil based paint on my black leather seats. What can I do to get the paint off?

Actually, I have heard and seen proof that Olive Oil will remove the paint from the leather without damaging it.

Unsure *why* but the olive oil is able to remove the paint, but it does.

Use extra-virgin olive oil, dab it on , and then you should be able to gently remove it with a damp paper towel.

There are some references to this if you google it too
