Wondering if anyone knows a safe product to clean and remove epoxy glue from leather...

I just installed my Reiff turbo XP system last weekend at the same time my mecanic was installing my AOA, at some point I accidently got some of the Oil-Pan heater glue (two part Epoxy or whatever that glue is ), I not knowingly got some on my pants and sat in my aircraft with my new leather seats that I put in 6 monts ago, so obviously now they have the stuff on them. 
 

I'm trying to find a way to remove it without scratching it or using something that would discolor it.

Thanks for your suggestions !!!

is the epoxy stiff or flexible.  If stiff you can roll the leather and it should pop loose.   On most glue/errant Paint I have found that fingernails and rubbing with fingers and thumbs works.  A little leather balm and you should be good.

Well found a very knowledgable person at my local hardware store, got a product called goo buster, was told to apply it using a q-tip cotton swap and it did wonders, removed all the spots and then put on a leather cleaner and conditioner, seats look like brand new... 

That is a big relief, it would have been shitty if otherwise...
