The slick moved 3 miles in a month and remained intact?

You broke the code.

With the rough weather that area had in the last month, there is no way any slick would stay intact. It would have been dispersed long ago.

Besides if the plane supposedly traveled until it was out of fuel, how much fuel would be left to create a slick this size?

Not if it had just seeped up from the engines laying on the ocean floor below.
