what would be causing a oil leak in the spark plug gallery. plug 1 wire is flooded with oil. and for some reason it is making the RPM jump up to like 3000 and stay there. any help needed

 

is the oil down in the spark plug holes or is it just up where the wires are??? there are 4 rubber Orings under your valve cover, one for each plug hole. one of those could be leaking. otherwise i would say to check the mounting locations of the valve cover to see if it is leaking from them.

well said... i was thinking those o-rings that are under the valve cover too.. it's happened to me many times'

 

thanks guys for the info ill take off the valve cover and check.

 

if they are bad, just go to Honda and ask for spark plug well seals. they are only like 2 dollars each.

 

ok well ill check the valve cover seals they might be bad. i put a mugen cover on it and i may have not put the seals on right or something. its the 2 holes all the way on the right. next to the timeing belt. the other problem i have is when 5000 rpm hits where i have the V-TEC set the check engine light come on. also sometimes for no reason it will jump up to 3000rpm and idel there. any info is help.thanks for all the help so far guys.
