OK, I give in and I'm putting it to the greater EPZ font of all knowledge as a last resort. During the big freeze I carried a few drums of heating oil in my over-filled car. One of them was in the front passenger seat, and leaked, and I nearly get high on the fumes every time I drive....
a month later, I've removed all the mats apart from the ones glued to the floor, and still no better. I sprayed febreze on it for a few days, and it made a difference...it now smells of a sickly mixture of oil and febreze - think I prefer the oil on its own..
So come on EPZ, your pride is at stake, solve this one for me quickly 
Buy a new car?
that's a no then ... 
You say it was on the passenger seat - is there any mileage in getting the seat itself cleaned industrially somehow? Presumably it leaked into the seat .. You'd only be missing it for a couple of days, and it would be safer for you to actually get it out of the car anyway, for a while.
It depend how much oil came out in the seat.... if it has gone into the sponge then you are looking at new seat sponge, as you wont get it out. If it has only gone into the upper layers of sponge, then a solvent cleaner used in conjunction with a wet vac should remove it.
Forget all the above.
It happened to me.
PM me and I'll give you the answer.
