The Obama administration has given BP the go-ahead to keep its ruptured oil well sealed for another day despite worries about the well leaking some oil and methane gas. On Monday, White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs confirmed there have been some leaks.

Robert Gibbs: “There is seepage about three kilometers away from the wellhead. There are bubbles that are visible on the underwater camera, which we continue to monitor. And there are some leaks from the upper part of the wellhead where the shear ram has closed. Those all bear special monitoring.”
