"But all that is to say, has anyone here ever heard of such a thing? Could crude oil be seeping to the ground surface due to the heavy rains?"

Oil is lighter than rock, sand, and water. It naturally seaps up and pollutes the surface, that's why you have the La Brea Tar Pits in downtown Los Angeles, for instance.

Natural oil seapage is the world's largest polluter of crude; if you don't drill and remove the oil, eventually it winds up on the surface, polluting on its own.

We need to make it a national champaign to tell the American people, and the libs/envirowackos, that, by drilling for oil, it is actually beneficial to the environment because it reduces those natural oil seepages.

At one time, there was be tar on the beach here. The local tribe, the Chumash, had a name for it. They called it Pismo.
