Need advice on how to cover oil spot on freshly painted wall?

Advice Wanted

Hello, looking for advice on how to cover an oil stain on a painted wall? The stain was there before we painted and is still there after 2 coats of fresh paint. I assume it some sort of oil that is deep in the drywall. Is covering with primer and touching up the spot a good solution? Will I have to repaint the entire wall?
