First thing you need to do is beat who ever spilled the oil with a stick.
Then clean up the majority of the spill using paper towel to blot it out without making the spill spread, then if you can find some clear window cleaner (it must be the clear type not one of the blue tinted ones )use it to remove the remainder and to prevent the stain being locked in by other cleaning agents.
I repeat it, "MUST BE CLEAR WINDOW CLEANER", it will just look like water in a bottle but it works great on cleaning stains out of carpet, even red wine stains !!
( Copius amounts of salt on the oil stain will also help suck it out of the carpet )
