New Oil Leak Found In BP Gulf Oil Spill BOP

At 3:26 AM EST on July 19th the underwater robot Skandi Neptune 2 recorded oil leaking from the Blowout Preventer.

Whether the leaks are from the Blowout Preventer itself or are from leaks in the wellbore down hole is still unknown

At first glance it appears the leaks were coming from hoses attached to the Blowout Preventer.

But upon further inspection the leaks seem to be coming from several places.

As you watch the video even long it is clear that at least some of the oil leaking is coming from beneath the field of view of the the camera of the ROV.

That raises the question of whether or not the leak is from the blowout prevent itself of from within the wellbore down hole or possibly even a combination of both.
