Definitely stop using lexol in the humid months. Also neatsfoot oil smells like crap and maybe someone used that at one time. You could even saddle soap the seats to really get the odor out, then treat it with a single part treatment like Meguiars or one of those. Usually those treatments do a decent job of putting moisture back into the leather.

If you're really stumped, yank the seat, pull the seat cover off (you have to undo all the hog rings) and see why it smells. Maybe someone spilled something on the seat. Most tanned leather smells pretty good when it is tanned, and takes on kind of a wet dog smell if it's too humid or has been treated with something that smells bad. Humidity makes it twice as bad. Consider driving with the A/C on more. It really helps.
