[OM] oil on aperture blades

I notice that there is a serious concern when buying lenses about whether there is oil on the aperture blades and whether they move freely etc. I understand the importance of blades opening and closing freely. What I am interested in is whether oil on the blades is terminal as far as a lens is concerned, or whether it can be reconditioned. If this is possible, what is the likely price?

PS. I don't have a lens with this problem as far as I know, I am just interested.
