I love the Queen of Clean! Here is what she suggests:
"To deal with a grease stain, you need to know whether it is from animal oil, vegetable oil or automotive. Be aware that grease and oil can leave a semitransparent stain that turns dark from all the soil it attracts. To remove a grease stain, first remove as much of the greasy substance as possible without forcing the grease further down into the fabric fibers. Use a paper towel to blot and absorb all the grease that you can. Next apply a drawing agent such as baking soda, cornstarch or talcum powder. Rub it in and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes to allow it to absorb and draw the grease out of the fabric. Brush the powder off thoroughly and check the stain. If it looks like you can absorb more grease repeat the process.
Sometimes grease stains can be stubborn and we need to fall back on the idea that grease removes grease. Therefore, you want to spray the grease spot with WD-40 Lubricant and let it soak for 10 minutes and then work in undiluted dishwashing liquid and work well between your thumbs. Flush with the hottest water you can for the fabric, pre-treat and launder as usual. Do not use this method on silk or crease-resistant finishes"

Go Straight to the cleaner.There is no way to clean a silk dress by yourself, you'll ruin it.The fibers in the silk are too delicate.

Try laundry detergent on the spot, then launder as usual.
OR
Gently rub talcum powder, cornmeal or cornstarch and let set.
Later, brush or sponge away the powder.

You might try something to break up the oil like dish soap.
If you try wd40 be careful as it is highly flammable and burns a long time.
