I have the same problem. last week i noticed my basement is flooded with about an inch or two of water in one room. the water has a thick blue oil all in it. I have no idea where its coming from!
 
I live in western Pennsylvania. (Stockdale,pa) they replaced all of the old gas lines by my house a few weeks ago and they did alot of digging. i dunno if this has anything to do with it or not...
 
Get a consult with a civil or soil engineer or petroleum engineer.

If there is a nearby college they may help you for free, like in Erin Brockovich.

Don't wait on this.

ok, we deal with this all the time. you need an LEP which is a Licensed environmental professional. They deal with the area Department of environmental protection. good luck with whatever it is. I had a cleanup job last year that cost over 200,000 dollars to clean up. All because someone smelled oil in the basement.
