oil found on spark plug

I have a turbo b16a1 and I havn't been able to build full boost latley, so I pulled the spark plugs and found oil on one of the spark plugs and oil at the base of the spark plug. What could be the problem?

yeah it's the four rubber rings on the valve cover. Just go to your local autozone shop and have it replace. It's very cheap.

Actually valve seals are in your cylinder head and have nothing to do with spark plugs OR oil on them for that matter. What you need to replace is<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by SkipMic2006 »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">yeah a rubber gorments ..like a gasket for the valve cover </TD></TR></TABLE>
