Oil Spill On Wall

Gumbo

guys, i spilled some new motor oil on one of my internal walls a month or so ago. it was brand new oil and the bag just burst as i was carrying the bottle into the house :mad:

i let it dry for 2 weeks then gave it a light sanding and repainted but when the paint is dry some of the oil staining is still there as a kinda damp looking stain.

os there anything recommended to get this out, a treatment etc or should i go again with the sanding and repainting?

thanks.
