I definitely approve of Blizzards references to the 2010 BP oil spill in this, the Slap and Cap and the quests starting with Pikwik in Peril.
That is every comment on this page.

What to do
Description
Last time we had an oil leak this bad, the oil itself tried to get away! I don't know what does it, maybe all the demon goop floating around here, but when we get a big enough crude leak half of it globs together and tries to run away. That's profit trying to escape! Go run after those oil sludges and bring back their sweet, precious oil!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Borrowed Bombs
The workers in Irontree Cavern below us have been driven out already. Something else has overtaken the cave. This works in our favor. I spotted at least a few of them dropping explosives as they fled... explosives we'll need for the next part of our plan.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Burnout
Your pump sabotage has caused pipes to break all over camp. The goblins are in a panic over the geysers, and it's about to get worse. Take the gathered explosives and use them to set the geysers aflame.
