Had a Leather Couch & Love Seat given to us... The set is 9 yrs old , it's Real Leather not a Fancy High Priced Imitation... The Problem is a Stain ( Body Sweat & Oils ) left behind from someone having sat in the same spot all the time... Any Ideas on what I can Use to try and restore the leather to it's original color..?

It is almost impossible to remove oil stains without removing some of the color of the leather. You could try some mineral spirits on a rag and hope to extract the oil but I would be very careful and only try in a small spot. Wipe the oiled spot and put a clean dry paper towel over it and gently press. Another alternative is to use an iron pressing on a piece of a brown paper bag. It will sometimes lift the oil out. If you really want to do it right, contact a leather cleaning company but I bet you are looking a $$.

Yep,the Cost of Repair isn't to far off Buying Brand New for sure... We even went on Pinterest for some ideas... Unfortunately a few years back long before the thought of even ending up with the Couch I had suggested placing a decorative towel down on that one corner of the couch because we knew this would happen... But...
