You can definately try the dry cleaners..a home remedy i know of is placing salt on the spot that has the stain, the salt is supposed to soak up as much of the oil as poss.but it sounds too late for that.definately try the dry cleaners.its their job to remove spots and stains. Best of luck.
Use lemon juice and Dawn dish washing liquid , let it soak for 15min. rub then rewash.
I would wash it with good for color bleach. - although, there could be something you could buy from the store that's made exactly for that. you kind of have to read the labels.

But color bleach works fine for me - sometimes i forgot a pen in my pocket and after washing, all my clothes and uniforms have ink on them, i found out that as long as you have not dried the washed stained clothes, and you put it back quickly in the washing machine and run it again with good for colored bleach, it got cleaned quickly. But experiment on your end and see if it will work for you too.
