Hi guys, I was changing out my spark plug wires today and when i popped the first one off I found the hole filled in oil. Then i went to see if all the other holes was the same and all 4 of the spark plug holes are filled with oil? what could cause this to happen?

Thanks in advance,

this happened to me check to see if the seals are there from the valve cover thats where myne came in

 

Replace the VC grommets....it worked for me.

 

Here's my writeup on how to replace the valve cover gasket and spark plug seals:

Ok I replaced all four of those O-Rings... and oil is still getting in the spark plug hole. I check the valve gasket and it perfectly fine. I had a question. I have a B16A1 engine, but my valve cover is from a B16A2 engine. Would that cause the oil to get into the spark plug holes?

No that will not cause that problem.

So you replaced all four lil oring gromets?

 

Yes I did i replaced all four... but when i checked again later same thing...

 

make sure you silicone those badboys up.... If doing that doesn't work, then its the actual valvecover...this was the case on my integra. it was seeping through the "metal rings".... well, where the top of the spark plug wire plugs into the hole, and actually slightly inside. i siliconed the top of that area.
