oil

[.ep82GER]

when i was taking the sparkpulgs out off my car there was oil round them anyone konw y or is this bad???

you have 4 plug seals in the rocker cover - over time the oil makes these go hard and perish
then the oil from your cams is escaping through these into the plug area
hope this helps

no unless you have blue smoke emmiting from the exhaust but even than it would be so slight u might not notice it so ur ok

if you remove the cam cover. veseline up the seals and clean the tunnels the seals seat on and then put it all back it may improve matters. or just buy new seals and replace them all. may as well get the cam cover painted or polished while your at it to save hassle in the future
