Stan,

By your description, I take it you used to spread the oil on the driveway and roads, not simply all over the yard and fields.

The oil on the roads will stay and slowly seep down, but it tends not to migrate sideways. So you're not likely to find it in the lawn areas.

So, the next issue has to do with the location and depth of these test drillings. If they test the driveway and roads, they are going to come up with positive readings. In the field and lawn, they will not.

But, if you guys dumped the heck out of oil, and they drill deep, they still may come up with a positive reading.

There is also the matter of at what level does your jurisdiction require remediation or other actions. You need to check into this as well, so you know what things you're potentially looking at.
