The leak was stopped a long time ago when they replaced the cap on top with a tighter one.. since then they’ve also pumped mud and concrete through that new cap and sealed it for good on the top, they’re still working on doing the same from the bottom just as an added safety measure.
The news now is that there’s still approximately 25% of the oil originally spilled sitting in a canyon on the bottom of the gulf. The dispersant that they used caused the oil to break down and sink instead of floating, but the down side is that there’s now a HUGE oil plum of hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil sitting on the bottom. Good news that I heard today is that there are actually microorganisms down there that are beginning to break the oil down further. . I think it’s all going to be OK in time… and that it could’ve been much much worse.
