The scenario you present is not really possible. There are thousands of feet of rock above the oil deposit. I do wonder what effect techtonic pressure has on this leak though. It is a very volatile time all over the globe with volcanoes and earthquakes.

There are earthquakes, small ones, occasionally, in the gulf of Mexico. Most people don't know that. So, this may yet be an end-times event. Just saying.
