Can anyone help me with this?

I guess i should have checked this before i bought it. but when i was cleaning my engine i found that there was oil in the spark plug holes where the wires go in and around the wire tube. I cant think of the name right now.
What cause is that and is it gonna be a major pain to fix. I knew it was leaking, but i thought it was just a valve cover gasket which would only cost me 4 bucks to fix. But I saw this. Help me out guys How can i fix it and why is there oil in there.

Also since this is an Acura car, what gasket cover would fit on it , iof it was from honda dealership. I work at honda dealership so i can get parts cheaper, i just need to know the equivilant for it. instead of payin more at an acura dealership.

you need new VC spark plug seals. Change them when you change the valve cover gasket. and get new gromets also. Dealer gaskets are the only ones worth installing. but they cost a little more.

 

I work at a honda dealership. thanks, would there be any other reasons why theres oil in there.

 

 

maybe you spilled some and it leaked past the seal on the plug. but 99% likeley the spark plug seals are dead. its pretty common on all cars.

 

nah i didnt spill anything.

 

get some new seals very easy fix

 

will do!

 

you can use the honda 2000 civic SI seals...

 

i've just always ordered mine from autozone, $20 VC gasket, SP tube seals, and grommets, no complaints here

 

sunday bump!
