how to remove paint from leather?

i have one drop of RED G2 caliper paint on my black leather seats. its been there for years. i guess i had some paint on my fingers that rubbed on the seat when i was getting inside. anyone know what the best method to take it off is? without scratching or discoloring the seat. it doesnt bother me all that much but if i can take it off, then why not.

Try some goof off. But make sure that it's ok on leather. http://www.valsparglobal.com/val/resident/goof-off.jsp

or bug&tar remover, just make sure not to rub on it too hard because you will most likely start to fade the leather since it is alcohol based

Try some Fast Orange. Used it on my hands after I got red G2 paint on them after painting my calipers regular soap/getergent didn't work. Came right off. If its safe enough for your hands, see no problem using it on leather. Should be able to find it at your local home depot.
