Please help! Oil in chambers
I got oil leaking into my spark plug chambers. And car is not gettin no power ,idles low and smoking. Is that why my car is smoking because of the oil going into the spark plugs and on the wires?. How do i fix that? And i should just get new wires and plugs? New valve cover gasket? please help. THanks

In addition to a valve cover gasket, Honda uses rubber grommets or seals under each spark plug well. Replacing those should correct the oil in the wells problem. Replacing the plugs and wires could be an option if you don't think you can clean them up well enough.
You say the car is smoking. Is it from under the hood or out the tailpipe? It is possible the oil is diverting your spark energy and causing the performance problems you describe. |

it is smoking from the tailpipe, And to fix my problem i should just replace the valve cover gasket or the rubber grommets that you mentioned and if so how do i changed that or replace it?

that happens sometimes .. no big deal .. just replace the o-rings and put in new spark plugs.. as for the oil in the cylinder .. just pull the plug and let it go down .. it will smoke for a bit while that oil burns off but its ok.

Replace the O rings on the valve cover.
