When the whales hit the surface, in scenarios like getting air, they will get oil all over them. They also might get some of it in the "mouth" and down the "blow-hole".
Spills make marine environments unlivable for marine mammals and indeed for all marine life forms with their injection of dangerous, non-edible oils into waters and nearby land. Specifically, they destroy possibilities for health, habitat and food sources. Predators and prey are left homeless. They also are left jobless, because the food supply drops or becomes non-existent. Additionally, they're left maimed, moribund or just plain unhealthy. Oils coat bodies and keep vital respiratory and ambulatory body parts from working.
