If your brake pads are not of the sintered variety, the only fix is replacement. The rotor must be thoroughly cleaned with paint thinner or mineral spirits. If you have sintered pads, the oil can be "cooked" out of them. I have done this successfully with a propane torch, but I have since been informed this was overkill. I haven't had occasion to try it, but I was informed by somebody on this forum that you can cook the oil out of them in a pan on the stove top.
It'll make your house stink for a while though, so I would look for an outdoor solution.
