I.e, along the lines of Stiebler's excellent FIDO mod. Purely functional, works great.
Also, historically an oil leak in itself was usually not enough for a confirmed kill to be credited. It had to be accompanied by other proof, ie., crushing/explosion sounds picked up, visual explosion signs (underwater explosions were seen by escort crews), debris/remains at the surface, etc.

If, I am remembering correctly... isn't there a mod add in, that... when a merchant or even a warship, sinks... of it leaving what's supposed to be oil fuel spillage, on the water.
Could not that, spillage aspect or part of that mod, from that be repurposed... to work in conjunction along with the messaging, of fuel leakage from damaged tanks for the sub.
As for a means or method of a Destroyer or an escort vessel, being alerted to that... & tracking the subsequent signs... have to admit to, drawing a blank on.
Of course, I admit freely, am not well versed in all the ins & outs of things that make the game tick.
Been lurking about, following the replies & seeing what's been said... brought that particular to mind... & got Me thinking on it.
If it works & is doable, so much the better... if it's not... then... ehh... chalk it up to, a nice idea...
