I am forming some indents in the seat, but they seam to be right over the two round steel parts of the frame (of the saddle).
Sounds to me like you may be sitting too far back on the saddle (if I understand correctly what you mean by this). Can the saddle move back any further? Maybe you'll need a seat post with more setback. Or are you saying the indents are near the outer edges of the saddle. If that is the case, you may need a wider model.
I would advise trying reversible adjustments before performing any bizarre rituals involving oils and such.
