Just remember, be MEGA CAREFUL when dealing with the ink. Personally, I would take it to a repuable detail shop and have them take a look and give an opinion.
Keep in mind, that the majority of leathers on the market have a 'clear coat' coating on the outside, much like the exterior paint finishes. Just like the paint on your truck, when the clearcoat is removed, it is susceptable to much faster deteoration.
Lexol is definately the way to go on conditioning however, don't condition it until you have removed the stain. From past experience, once it's conditioned, it seemed to make it more difficult to remove.
GOOD LUCK!

I actually had the same thing happen on my old Expy. Some donkey repairman got an ink spot right in the middle of my tan leather.
My dad made a good suggestion to use a very small amount of comet. I was kinda weary, but i tried it. I made sure that i was super gentle, i didnt use any pressure, just let the comet do the work. And it came out, and rather quickly too. I then went over the seat with a good leather cleaner. That area never looked worn or dull....it looked like new again!!
