There was no 'gulf stream oil spill' per say. Rather, the 2010 BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill has reached the Gulf. This spill started on 2010 April 20, reaching the gulf stream approximately in August.
The Ixtoc I oil spill was a spill resulting from the drilling of an exploratory oil well in the Gulf of Mexico in the Bay of Campeche, on June 3, 1979. The blowout lead to the third largest oil spill in history, (currently larger in volume than the BP Deepwater Horizon spill of 2010).
A methane explosion and resulting fire caused the oil spill to first occur.Currently, (as of 2010 July 27) the last oil spill in the gulf of Mexico is the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill (2010 April 20).Leaks still are occurring from wells damaged in Hurricane Ivan (2004) at this date as well.
