The company said about 8,400 gallons of oil leaked.
Most of the oil stayed on the company's property, but some reached a draining ditch. That oil will be vacuumed from it.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said Lawrence County Route M is closed between Halltown and Everton.
A company spokesman says an investigation is trying to determine what caused the leak.
