I wouldn't have thought it to be a problem at first because they are both oil products.

Re: Oil Patches

Try rubbing cat litter on teh stain. It can absorb the oil Also try rubbing a degreaser into teh stain(even washing up liques can help!

Also washing powder is pretty good! leave it to soak for a while though!
