my 1990 accord ex has oil coming out my spark plugs. why is this ? i forgot what i have to do to stop this . can anyone help.

 

You have a leaky valve cover gasket. A common problem with a simple solution. Your local parts store will have just what you need to stop the leak.

 

but it coming only from the bottom where it sparks at not where the plugs go at and all the plugs have oil

 

Rings ?

I apologize for assuming that you were talking about the other end of the plugs.

I'm with everyone else here. You're in need of some engine work. However, I do find it odd that all four plugs are oily since your last spark plug replacement. Does the engine consume oil from oil change to oil change?

 

valve train seals is the cause of the oil leaking into the spark plug tubes
it is between the rocker assy and cylinder head.

 

rings get my second vote, I say that the culprit are the Lower Tube seals. They should come with the valve cover gasket combo that u can get at ur local autozone, etc.

 

drop a teaspoon of motor oil through the sp hole and see if you have a different compression.

why guess when you can test ?

Sorry for the OT, but is your car on an episode of "Pimp My Ride"? Do you have a thread on the experience? Sounds interesting.

 

take ur valve cover off and look on the botom side of it there are like seals between the valve cover and were ur spark plugs go in it if those are cracked or ripped oil will get in that way too i had that exact problem and thats what fixed mine!

 

thanx for everyone reply.
ihave not been online lately.

when i take of the spark plug wires out of each hole there's no oil at all on each one but when i take each spark plug off on the bottom eand only theres oil.
i changed the spark plugs and still the same .
i checked to see if the was to much oil and its fine. i even did another oil change and its fine.
when you guys say the ring do you mean the piston rings?
just to let everyone know the car is driving fine with no problem.
the car does have 213,459 miles it .

hit me back asap

 

I also have a '90 Accord EX. There were two spark plugs that had oil on them when I changed plugs.

You can get a valve cover and plug seal kit from O'Reily Auto Parts for about $20. That seemed to solve my problem. It's worth a try and does not cost much and is easy to do.

But like the above posts state, you could have other problems.

 

Rings.... NOT. Rings have nothing to do with it. Its your valve stem seals. Time for a valve job.

 

how many miles are on the motor, If it was the seals it would smoke real bad when you frist start it. I would look for a junk yard motor, you should be able to find one cheap

 

blowby?
