Removing oil stain from shoe

I seem to have a curse, in that every time I buy some nice new article of clothing, I manage to ruin it within a few days. This time, I got a drop of two-stroke motor oil on my new left shoe. It's not huge, but it's very noticeable, and I'd like it gone. I've been dabbing it with damp tissue paper to keep the stain from setting, but I'm not sure how best to remove it. Would getting a toothbrush and scrubbing it with laundry detergent or dish soap (apparently good against oil) work?

Here's the stain... I'm not sure how much is oil and how much is water:
