I have a 2-part suggestion, which has worked for me:

Step 1) Take a piece of brown paper (of the kind from which a paper bag is made), place it over the stain, and iron over this paper with a hot iron. This hopefully will cause the oil stain to be absorbed by the brown paper.

Step 2) After the ironing, pour a thick layer of talcum powder onto the spot. Leave overnight and then launder as usual.
