oil round spark plugs????

[Dancliovalver]

me mate came up to my garage today to borrow an extension for his socket and rachet to change his spark plugs

when we took the HT leads out the spark plugs and leads were absolutly covered in oil!!!!

ive never seen one like that before so i assume some sorta gaskets gone!!!

can anyone give me some advice??

[Justin..]

what car ? i had oil on my plugs cos the rocker gasket had failed

[Dancliovalver]

oh yeah sorry, a valver!!

[Allan]

depends on how good he is at changing the oil lol, i have seen plugs filled because people miss the hole and its next route is down to the plugs!

or if they have not been in tight it may have leeked u, but doubt it :D

Usually rocker cover gasket, or as above missing the oil hole, but this is only usually a dribble and it will be clean oil

only other option that nobody has mentioned is the cam ladder gasket leaking. Its unlikely but if the cams have been out and somebody hasnt sealed the ladder down on top of them properly then it could leak from there. Quite probably just the cam cover gasket tho.
