BP is looking into whether a massive oil sheen in the Gulf of Mexico is coming from the site of the 2010 spill. [...]

Now, investigators are looking into whether the site is the source of continuing oil slicks in the Gulf of Mexico. [...]

BP confirmed that an oil sheen spotted in mid-September was indeed leaking from the containment dome [...] The company plugged that new leak, but days later, more slicks surfaced.

So far, investigators haven’t found any new sources of oil, but haven’t yet inspected the source of September’s leak. [...]

This time, investigators also plan to look at the rig wreckage itself, which they didn’t inspect after mid-September’s leak. [...]

Cpt. Duke Walker, Federal On Scene Coordinator for the Deepwater Horizon Response

• “The only places that we have high suspicion that there might be contained oil is the containment dome where we already found some previously”

  
  

• “We haven’t been back to the containment dome yet, or the well heads, that’s in our target package, and it will happen either [Thursday night] or perhaps [Friday]”

  
  

• Walker doesn’t believe any oil is leaking from wells associated with the Deepwater Horizon

  
  

Again… They are focusing on if oil is “leaking from wells associated with the Deepwater Horizon”. The real concern appears to be whether oil and gas is coming from fissures or cracks in the seafloor which may have been caused during the initial blowout or the many attempts to cap the well.
