Except there's no guarantee that a nuke would seal the hole. The only way to do that would be to lower it down the hole before setting it off, but there's a good chance that would fracture the bedrock to the point that would leak up through the edges and create a whole bunch of smaller but completely unknown and untracked leaks that would spit oil for decades.
As much as I wish there was a quick fix like this, there's not.
