A French minisub has explored the wreck several times

According to this article, they've found thin streams of oil rising from the wreckage. Let's hope the oil will congeal as predicted or it could be streaming for many years.

The aging, single-hulled Prestige broke in two and sank six days after the leakage started. The government says that altogether it spilled up to 17,000 of the 77,000 tons of fuel oil it was carrying. Ecologists put the figure at 20,000 tons.
