When crude oil spilt in the Gulf of Mexico it caused the oil to float into the Atlantic Ocean, near the United Kingdom (UK), and it also caused loads of animals to get completely cover in the oil and some possibly died because of it!

What type of oil was spilled in Exxon Valdez?

The Exxon Valdez oil spill involved crude oil, specifically a type known as North Slope crude oil. This oil is a light, sweet crude, characterized by its relatively low density and low sulfur content. The spill occurred on March 24, 1989, when the Exxon Valdez tanker struck a reef in Prince William Sound, Alaska, releasing approximately 11 million gallons of oil into the pristine marine environment.

Does water mix with salt?

Yes and No, it all depends on the type of oil that is in the salt water. Heavy crude oils do not mix with salt water, they just clump together and sink to the bottom. light and very light crude oils do mix with water which speeds up their degradation and causes them to evaporate a lot faster. medium crude oil like those from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico only partially mix with water, that is why you see the pools of oil on the surface and all the oil globs washing up on shore.
